Should countries outlaw the hijab, niqab and burka?

That's my experience as well. I find the idea of outlawing the hijab in particular, fairly misguided. In fact, the idea that you can fight oppression by dictating to people what they can and cannot wear is fairly bizarre. But that's par for these threads.Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

Let's imagine the following scenario. I decide to exploit the women at the place of business I own by requiring women to wear short skirts and prohibiting the wearing of bulky, shape hiding outer garments as tops. Some smart guy decides to fix this problem by outlawing the wearing of short skirts and ordinary dress blouses and requiring all women to wear bulky sweaters. Smart guy then posts his solution as the subject of a thread on EvC.Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

I prefer the ambiguity, so I am going to pretend that I did not read this explanation.

Describe the protection you believe that the constitution provides against such a thing happening. I think the belief that Sharia law could be introduced in such a way is pretty fanatical, but if you claim that such a procedure is unconstitutional, exactly what section of the constitution do you think would be violated?

You seemed to be claiming that the constitution does not allow the strategy of 'growing your numbers'until you get your way. Your statement does not come close to defending such a claim. Just thought this was worth a repeat. Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

Telling me that your position is common sense, or to think harder, or calling the opposing position Marxist neither helps me understand where you are coming from nor persuades me that you are right.Since your position is based on the constitution, I would think that you ought to be able to at least point to some part of the document in support of your position. Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

I asked you to specify a portion of the constitution that prevents groups from growing until they are able to enact laws that the current majority does not like. Instead of actually citing some provision I just get more of your opinion.What I am asking you to do is to back up your opinion with some actual cites to the constitution. Not going there.As a side issue, I don't see that people who want to wear hijabs in this country are subversive or how their doing so is on a path to dominating Christianity, but I know better than to pursue that with you.

Here is a sample of the commentary regarding that video.

Good, it's about time these judges make things right. I wished the judges in America would do the same, either take off your scarf or donate your car.
