I'm so confused by the discussion about the Niqab in jobs which serve the public. I understand our communities are changing drastically with the influx of women who come to Canada for 'rights' but insist part if this includes concealing themselves to the public BUT applying, interviewing and accepting a public serving job???
I THINK WHILE IN PUBLIC VIEW THEY SHOULD REMOVE THEM,THEY COULD WALK INTO A STORE OR BANK HOLD IT UP AND HOW ARE TO YOU GET A LOOK AT THEM.SOME TIMES YOU CAN'T TELL IF IT'S A MAN OR WOMEN?
The fact that no one seem to have a strong view/feelings against showing a lot of flesh the same way for the Niqab is an evidence of the hidden hatred for Muslims who at least doesn't look western enough. A kind of hatred that stems from the shameful residential schools and slavery heritage of North America. It is also a proof that you are the ones who want to change everyone else to fit they way you see comfortable, not really them trying to change you and the the biggest proof to that is the fact that Muslim women who wear Niqab are the minority, here and even in the Muslim world. Though I don't really blame you or feel strongly against you or think what you are doing is wrong in forcing Muslim women to look the way you want, I do blame and feel strongly against Muslim countries for not forcing you to abide by the norms if any of you visit. It is your country and you absolutely free to decide whatever you want to see in your country! (also it would be wise not to brag about freedom of choice)
Muslim women who wear Niqab are the minority, and it is very easy to verify their identity by having a female officer to do that in private. No one need that much of knowledge and education to think about this simple solution, but this is not the issue; the issue is the residential schools heritage.
Do you see the rest of Canadian women covering there faces NO!
If we want equality for women, we need to respect their wishes to dress how they want to dress. It's immature to think that if you're frightened/offended by how someone dresses, it's their fault. This is racist legislation, aimed at a very small group of people who are no threat to anyone or their liberties. This is a step backwards.
How much discussion is required on this subject! Do we need to continue to flog a dead horse? Every discussion forum I have seen (and there have been many) on this topic has had overwhelming support to BAN the BURQA! Please enforce this across Canada. Women in Canada have not fought for equal rights in the last 50 years or so to return to the dark ages in dress. This is an insult to women, demeaning and has absolutely nothing to do with religion and everything to do with the marginalization of women. Let's move on to other more pressing matters like the economy, jobs and immigration reform.
I'm a "women's Libber" from the 60's and for me it is horrifying to see a woman demean herself with an Nequab. I feel this unease enter my chest when a see I covered face.
People coming to Canada are very welcome but must understand that when in another land you must adapt, broaden your horizons and try not to offend our sensibilities as any polite person would in any land.
I have had the good fortune to know a cou ple of hajib wearing woman and it is brought home to me how much our early learning affects how we think. Do we stop learning and progessing unless we are pushed after adolecence?
They are terrifying to look at, my children start screaming when we see them walking towards us.
They look like someone that just steped out of a grave. In those black disguise they should never be able to vote looking like that, and I know one person that passed, was a man in disguise.
