Those who seek to ban the niqab are just as arbitrary and controlling as those rulers in certain places that wish to enforce it.

Dutch cabinet approves partial ban on Islamic veil in public areas
- Thread starter TomandJerry
- Start date
So we democratically vote for our "rulers", how do you think a vote for non wearing of face coverings in places like banks, schools and public buildings would pan out. Live and live but safety and some sensible rules are not controlling, maybe the controlling is by those that won't adhere to sensible rules.

If you don't agree with it as a individual then that's your hard luck , vote the ruling party out in 5 years time or whenever it is in Holland . I voted Tory and I know some policies I will not agree with but generally I hope I will be satisfied if not my vote will go elsewhere next time . If the Dutch are so against this policy then I am sure there will be change next election , but some how I doubt it ! Whichever Islamic person decided to live in Holland should abide by the Dutch rules end off , if not it is a sign of disrespect to the country that you live in , just like people trying to introduce Sharia Law in this country .

Will you argue every policy you don't like and expect it to go your way ? The cabinet were voted in to take decisions for the whole population not just one group of people whether religious or not .
Well they are not calling for " An overall ban" are they.

i agree,some cultures are getting about in large numbers,especially to these shores and they are indeed struggling to adapt to new things,especially things like covering the face which we seem to find a weird concept,preferring as we do face to face interaction
I am sure they will come around eventually

I will argue every policy I don't like if I feel strongly about it. Just because a cabinet of politicians makes a decision doesn't mean that it is the right one. Do I expect it to go my way? No not in the slightest.
This to me is the very essence of democracy, if the majority of voters think that a party are making the best decisions for the country and I disagree then I have to lump it. Do I have to do it quietly? No of course I don't, I can jump up and down, protest and write letters to my MP's in the hope that i can change something. It doesn't always work but at least we can say we tried. I can keep banging on about something in the hope that what i say makes sense to people and maybe my views will be better represented by the next cabinet of politicians.
Sometimes of course not accepting decisions and jumping up and down, protesting and writing letters (postcards) to MP's does work and we have a football club and shiny new stadium as testament to that.

if you come to a Christian state then you respect the laws there as you would have to if you lived in an islamic state
simples really if you don't like our ways and laws don't live there.

The 'burkha bandits': Robbers armed with knives and an axe wear Muslim dress to raid stores.
It should be a blanket ban just like Muslim countries.

I think as a gesture of goodwill toward Muslims ((and the rest of us) Teresa May should wear a Niqab permanently.

I dont care what your reason is (unless its genuinely medical ) covering your face means you have something to hide.
Absoultely no one should be covering their face in public places especially and unfortunately nowadays.

Fair enough BF , same I would expect a Dutch nationalist to question in an Islamic country why they can't get pissed in the street on lager and eat cake containing magic mushrooms , as well as visiting many sex shops and visiting prostitutes in red light area's of course

In that case even I may give it one from behind

Using this logic i am guessing that there are a fair few people who are about to move to The Netherlands
I take it you will "jump up and down" and "protest and write letters to my MP's" in Oz then, or perhaps you agree with this stance below, i know i would gladly welcome this attitude in England.
"AUSTRALIA is to strip Islamic State fighters of their citizenship under radical new plans – amid calls for the British government to do the same."

I protest about many things in Oz, its my democratic right.
i think the policy you posted is quite a good idea so no i won't be complaining about that.
Perhaps jump up and down and support it then, can work both ways.

I hesitate to speak for Bad Fish, but I would suggest that his stance would be that the policies of Islamic countries would also be worthy of protest. He believes in democracy, as he has clearly stated.
