So? Your point is? Are you defending the views of the Dutch government? I was thinking Denmark was a free land where all cultures/religions are respected. Guess not eh? Btw, try to tackle the topic at hand: banning burka in Denmark.

First of all Dutch people are from Holland not Denmark :halo:

Secondly, if the Dutch are going to ban the Burka, then all power to them. It was not a part of Islam then I have no greviance over it. If the Dutch moved to ban Praying in Holland or anything related to Islam, then I will be totally incensed. But the Hijab, Burka is not a part of Islam so I have no quams over it.

And realistically speaking, these things were adorned in a time when there was no central government, no protection of women, no police or central military to guard borders or protect civil rights, etc…

But time changes and as such, the basic principles of Islam must be kept but the way we involve Islam in our daily lives has to change and cannot remain the Archaic way of 6th Centry Arabia implemented to 21st Century Europe.

I think it has come to a point where these tribalistic traditions cannot exist in modern western societies and as such I fully support the Dutch government banning the Burka.
