Should countries outlaw the hijab, niqab and burka?

No. You like to talk about Canada so you should know that wearing these is a protected right. Murder is already illegal in Canada even when it's honor killings. Here's a good example : Shafia family murdersDo you totally ban alcohol or do you ban drunk driving? What about banning driving when you can't see around you. No need to target a religious group for that. Seeing your posting history here, we already knew that.

Since the majority voted against it twice and the current level of support is under 40%, please don't include us all in your definition of Quebec. I certainly don't fall into that category.

You should notice that cellphones are still legal in Canada. What's illegal is driving while using your cellphone with your hands. If this is an argument to ban the niqab, it's a really bad one. Canadian culture is aslo one of being open to different cultures. We have laws against discrimination.I also notice that you completely forget your argument about honor killings. Why is that?It seems we have everything in place to prevent (or punish) what you're fearing. Please stop. Not all muslims men are oppressors and not all muslims women are oppressed, even if they wear a hijab or a niqab.

You totally misread RAZD.Under Harper, muslims were targets of discrimination, mainly by people like you who felt endorsed by the position of the government.

You mean... like us? I worked closely with a muslim woman who wore the hijab. In fact she was my superior at that time. She's a wonderful woman who I can tell you wasn't inferior to any man, not even her husband. I heard her talk to him on the phone, trust me when I say she didn't sound like a slave. No shit! You propose to destroy the Charter of Rights! You realize Justin Trudeau is the son of former Prime Minister Pierre-Elliot Trudeau, the father of the Charter of Rights...right? Are you telling us you would prefer a lying government to some women who chose to wear a piece of clothing? And you're the same person who suggested we should see a doctor... You want to suppress their rights and call yourself anti-slavery. Now that is certainly NOT Canada.Oh and a reminder (again)... You were talking about honor killings remember?

How is it related to the topic of banning the niqab? Why don't you focus on your own topic? Equality also means that everyone has the right to wear what they want.

Consider you wish granted because you know what? They arleady have the right to wear it (niqab, hijab, burka) or not. It's their choice.What do you want to change again?

Repeat after me : CanadaYou were talking about Canada remember? How does making the niqab illegal in Canada would change the lives of women in other countries?Please stick to your own topic.

But Canada IS a leading example! Everyone as the RIGHT to choose what they want to wear. Again, you and radical fundamentalist muslims are on the same playing field : oppression. You are what you want to eliminate.

On the contrary, you want to remove a choice for them. You're the slave owner in your story.

Equality under the laws also means that a woman can choose whatever she wants to wear even if you don't like it. We have law against discrimination and oppression. Yes, it's sad that you don't though... They're already free from it in Canada. Sorry, better luck next time.

Niqab = Pedophilia. I'll have to remember that.Can you elaborate? The pedophile hurts the the child he uses for his desires. How does the niqab hurt the woman who choose to wear it? You're like the fundamentalists when they say that gay marriage = making pedophilia legal.

Now you're left with insults... thanks! At least we know you don't have an argument. It was you who brought pedophilia in the discussion remember.Let's review your "argument"... Pretty clear cut to me, you equate the desire to wear a niqab to men wanting the right to be pedophiles. No, the oppression hurts her, not the apparel. You've been shown a testimony of a woman who wants to wear it. Is she a masochist?

Not when it comes to the rights of a minority. Did you know that in 1967, when interracial marriage was made legal everywhere in the US, over 70% of the population was against it?Edited by Bliyaal, : No reason given.

And now you have the power to be in her head? Beside, a country isn't free if she's not free to exercise her religion as she wants as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. The niqab doesn't hurt anyone, including her. More insults! But yes in the end you indicated such an idiocy. You brought pedophilia as an example of a right we should deny like we should deny the right to wear a niqab thus equating them. And you went for a cheap and false analogy and got caught. Who's the fool?To deny a right to someone, like limiting the driving speed (another bad analogy you used), you must have good reasons like you know... protecting people from injuries or death. Is is the piece of clothing a serious problem or is it the abusive man forcing her? We know the answer, it's the man. Why don't you focus on the real problem instead of the false image you made up in your head?
