Re: Muslim Women Face Choices As France’s Veil Ban Looms
I can understand that… indeed if Bukaposh were to approach some Military base or secret installations or refuse to remove the viel at Airport to Women security then thats understandable the Viel is an issue but to have a blanket ban sounds like targetting and racism to me. Besides I see no ban on hats, hoodies or ski-masks in public places… the ban specifically says two things in one sentence…
“Muslim” and “veil” thats deliberate instigation. I work for the security industry myself and even if someone was wearing a veil one can still sense trouble from body language and posture… it’s a fact that your more likely to succeed in an attempted attack not by disguise or even appearance but by the speed and strength of the attack and the Veil does not increas ones speed or strength capabilities and as a stealth weapon it’s hardly any effect in a terrorist setting veil or no veil you can still bust whoevers behind the screen…
As for using it to hide behind while commiting criminal acts… I find balaclavas, Ski Masks, Panto Masks and even the French face painted Mime could be brilliant modes… the ban does not specify any of those so it’s clear that the whole idea is against one particular people and is designed to pander the Right Wing.
I am not a massive supporter of the Veil, but I would be making just as much noise if the Authorities banned Gypsie Scarves, Bindiya, Purdah (headscarves/shawls), Jewish Skull caps or even something like dreadlocks… targeting any minority with a blanket ban is just extremist state terrorism.
