BAN THE BURQA - THE HONEST FACTS

This is a piece I wrote her 11 years ago - in October 2014. It's as relevant today as it was then.

If we're going to have a debate about banning the burqa, a little honesty wouldn't go astray.

A few days ago, a misleading article in the Sydney Morning Herald stated the burqa is a religious requirement. With that false proposition the reporter promptly marched off to a couple of constitutional lawyers seeking advice that a ban of the burqua would be 'unconstitutional' on 'religious grounds'.

Never let the facts get in the way of an agenda.

The burqa isn't a religious requirement, it's a cultural choice.

Nowhere in the Qur'an is the word 'burqa' or a requirement for women to cover their face. The closest you'll find is that men and women dress modestly. That's open to interpretation.

The burqa is the full body covering, head to toe. That means the eyes, too, with a mesh for seeing.

The niqab is a cloth facial covering, with only the eyes visible (which is often misunderstood as the burqa).

The hijab is a modest veil that covers (around) the head and chest. It doesn't cover the face,

But for this argument, we'll consider the current burqa ban argument to include both the niqab and burqa, neither of which are required by the Islamic faith.

The burqa's true origin is cultural. It stems back to the Bedouin desert tribes, to protect from harsh desert sun and sandstorms. ('Bedouin' derives from the Arabic word 'Bedu' - 'the desert dwellers')

So, as far as the constitution goes, there's no legal impediment to banning the burqa. But where there's a reasonable argument, is on security grounds.

These days CCTV is a vital part of security and identifying suspects of criminal activity. Just yesterday we saw the example of a couple of brothers caught on CCTV after bashing a football fan who stepped in to defend a woman.

The only way they were caught was security vision. They were immediately identified, posted on various websites, shared on facebook. Within 2 hours of the first web posting, they walked into a police station and handed themselves in

If it's not permissible to wear a balaclava, helmet or other facial coverings into a bank, or government building then all full-face coverings must apply. That includes a burqa or niqab. Racial or religious arguments are farcical and are easily dismissed.

Many non-Bedouins wear burqas. In fact most burqa wearers are not Bedouin.

Many Bedouins are not Muslim, and many Muslims are not Bedouins.

Women who wear a burqa or niqab do it by choice. That's not enough to claim discrimination if asked to remove, or not enough for any protection under any higher constitutional law.
In these times, it's reasonable for the government to make the right laws on security grounds.

One rule for all.

No exceptions.

This is Australia, not the Arab desert

right wing are such weird ppl

if you against burqa , why even wear it?

Wear burqa, but showing off her legs with high heels.

To Make a point?

I know lah. She look like a joke lmao

The joke is on those to refuse to ban it but get annoyed when someone else wears it to the senate.

Ok boomer

Dumbest reply

Just like you refuse to assimilate here and even hating on the majority race and religion. Fuck off.

She just like Thanos, already old and less power but stirring shit just want to stay relevant.

So by ur logic.it is minority assimilate with majority rite? So in Australia, by your logic, isn't it Muslim need to assimilate with Australia instead?

Just like you refuse to assimilate here and even hating on the majority race and religion. Fuck off.

U cre enough to find a meme to reply. I don’t go that far to reply a dumb ktard.

She is old but smarter than most younger WOKE cancer patients.

The WOKE liberals who blindly chant diversity are the hippies of this decade.

because everybody in that room surely never seen it before because they don't travel like us normal people(not knowing what is happening out there)

it's the same like asking anthony loke to know how many potholes there are on our public roads, he doesn't know since he doesn't drive those roads
yup, last time all bajut melayu, baju kurung, kebaya

now it's niqab, soon burqa(getting more and more on the street)

To make a statement?

To show the naive extreme left that they are just dumb syok sendiri hypocrite?

Using RnR as a weapon, is the fastest way to get attention.

i mean will secular ppl dress like taliban to prove a point? wat point? its weird.

ever heard the term 'practice what you preach?'

wat exactly is Hanson trying to say here? She's a clown?

shock value? but how does the logic connect

i dont see other antis dressing like ppl they hate.

If her opponents werent losing their marbles, her stunt could've been ridiculed easily.

"Didnt take much for Hanson to wear a hijab.  Look, she's doing it herself"

i am extra rajin for you today 

More like extra triggered 

burqa just for terrorists hiding themselves.
Ban them for good.

you do know that people in that room doesn't live what us normal people live...don't see what we see on a daily day basis
so in order to let them know, sometimes u gotta bring it into the office for everybody to see what we normal people see on a daily basis

to show people that it doesn't align with their culture

same here as well, we're gonna be like that too in a few years
our national costume already down the drain...same as many countries out there

She is not wearing it everyday, it’s a one off stunt to the senate. Pretty sure all those WOKE politicians will be uncomfortable if they need to sit inside a meeting room with fully covered unidentified person.

unidentified? thats clearly Hanson lol

we need more brave politicians like her. Pragmatic, straight to the point

When and if burqa become more prevalent, yes you will have no idea who is whom.

right now in this world, only a few country dare to speak up to preserve their national costume
everybody else just let these took over their culture and national wear

You mean ppl in the room never seen a burqa before?  Cant Hanson just bring out a photo or a newspaper ? There are so many ways to show people in the room than actually cosplaying as a taliban.

What next? she's gonna grow a beard and a turban?

The word you are looking for is hypocrite lol

im wondering if DAP leaders will come to parliament dressing like an actual taliban to warn us about the dangers of fanaticism. fukken lol

Ini semua salah DAP?
Btw, many don't have issue with beard or even a turban because you can still recognize the other person.

Got your attention didn't it? And thanks for completely missing the point. Pay attention to the clown stunt doubles and rhetoric, than factual reasoning.
There are countless better ways to show the dangers of radicalism than wearing a burqa

how to handle security with burqa? immigration?

what is Australia's national costume anyway?

unidentified? thats clearly Hanson lol

So can clearly see it's her. Also burqa is an acceptable attire.
Then the wrong is at the chamber for forcing her to leave.

i must say she has beautiful legs...

Lol! Pauline Hanson memang known for being sarcastically hilarious la.
I like her
