Why is the burqa being banned in Europe?

[janab-e-ali]

@VoiceOne

Let me put ur argument another way.
janab-e-ali: Hey, they claim they are mr. clean and honest. Most of the time they are but i also saw them cheating sometimes. They are no mr. clean if u ask me!
janab-e-ali: However, I am better then them because I dont claim to be mr. clean, I am a crook and i know it. So it does not matter if i steal all the time!
I hope it is easier to understand.

1. That’s a stupid analogy.
2. I never said one idea was better than the other. I have repeatedly made it clear that I see no difference between state-enforced hejab and state-enforced unveiling, and I strongly oppose both ideas.
3. I was simply pointing out a logical inconsistency in the idea of secular states dictating religious dress codes.
4. I hope that makes things easier to understand.

Isnt the key word there 'Secular" state… Depending on how you define the term and what it implies, then a ban on the Burqa seems quite appropriate.

Secularism is defined as the concept of being separated from religion; i.e. the government does not officially endorse any religious practices and leaves those decisions entirely up to the population, as long as they do not compromise public safety.

The suppression of the practice of a particular religion is religion-specific oppression. The suppression of the practice of all religions is state-enforced atheism.
