    Malaysia under fire over plan to control what women wear to work


    Denmark bans wearing of face veils in public to uphold 'Danish values'-10091286-3x2-940x627-jpg
    Covering up is an "obligation" under Islam, say religious groups pushing for dress restrictions

    The Malaysian Government's plan to introduce a dress code for Muslim women in the workplace has sparked a backlash from women's
    rights groups, which accuse officials of acting like "fashion police".


    Key points:
    • Government wants to extend dress code for women to private sector
    • Islamic groups complain about flight attendant and hotel worker outfits
    • Women's groups have criticised the move as "dehumanising"


    Women in the Muslim-majority country, which has a large population of ethnic and religious minorities, have been barred from government offices
    in the past for attire that officials deemed as indecent, such as skirts or shorts.

    Women in the public service already have dress regulations, the new rules would extend these to the private sector.

    Those who work in the civil service already have to follow regulations that typically prohibit women from wearing sleeveless tops or
    skirts above knee level.
    But the Government has now said it is in the final stage of drawing up guidelines for Muslim women in the private sector, which will
    comply with Islamic principles.

    No details have been made public, but Malaysian women's rights groups condemned the dress code.

    France's ban on full-face Islamic veils violates human rights, UN panel says

    Denmark bans wearing of face veils in public to uphold 'Danish values'-8462564-3x2-940x627-jpg
    Anyone wearing a full-face veil in public in France is liable to a fine of $240.

    The UN Human Rights Committee says France's ban on the niqab, the full-face Islamic veil, is a violation of human rights and has called on it to review the legislation.

    Key points:

    • The committee said the ban could lead to women being confined at home
    • France said the law was necessary and respected religious freedom
    • Countries are not required to implement decisions from the rights panel


    France had failed to make the case for its ban, the committee said, and gave Paris 180 days to report back to say what actions it had taken.

    Implementation of its decisions is not mandatory, but under an optional protocol of the treaty, France has an international legal obligation to comply "in good faith".

    "The committee was not persuaded by France's claim that a ban on face covering was necessary and proportionate from a security standpoint or for attaining the goal of 'living together' in society," it said.

    The panel of 18 independent experts oversees compliance with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).
    A French Foreign Ministry spokesman said the law was legitimate, necessary and respected religious freedom.

    Many that I've seen here, should be REQUIRED to wear them. One cannot help lack of aesthetics, but there is no reason to parade one's ugliness, either. The daily shower and shampoo has held me in good stead for many years now.

    That's going to make the Thai Club & Bistro a lot less appealing...

    Sri Lanka bans face coverings and closes Catholic churches after Easter bombings

    Denmark bans wearing of face veils in public to uphold 'Danish values'-11053352-3x2-940x627-jpg
    Muslim women attend Eid al-Fitr prayers to mark the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan in Colombo, Sri Lanka in 2017

    Muslim women have been ordered to stop wearing veils in public and Sri Lanka's Catholic churches have been closed as the country imposes strict security measures in the aftermath of the Easter suicide bombings.

    Key points:
    • Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena banned all kinds of face coverings that conceal people's identities
    • The emergency law prevents Muslim women from veiling their faces
    • The country's Catholic churches were closed after warnings more militants remained on the loose


    The closing of all of Sri Lanka's Catholic churches — an extraordinary measure unheard of in the church's centuries on this island off the southern tip of India — came after local officials and the US Embassy in Colombo warned more militants remained on the loose with explosives.

    Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the Easter suicide bombings, which were aimed at churches and hotels and killed more than 250 people.
    President Maithripala Sirisena also banned all kinds of face coverings that may conceal people's identities.

    The emergency law, which takes effect from Monday (local time), prevents Muslim women from veiling their faces.
    The decision came after the cabinet had proposed laws on face veils at a recent meeting.

    When I first arrived in the sandpit, one of the Saudi papers had a report about how many men were distressed when their new brides were revealed in all the glory on the wedding night. They hadn't seen the bride up to that point.

    So the mullahs issued a fatwa saying that they were allowed, pre-engagement, to see ankles, wrists and face as long as a male family member was in attendance.

    Such forward thinking.

    Funnily enough that was my first thought.
    Bulldoze all the mosques in Sri Lanka. Eradicate the physical symbols of Islam completely. No mosques, minarets, call to prayer, burqas,hijabs, everything. No more.

    Which is it exactly what the extremists want.

    And that makes it a cretinous idea.

    How may women do you know of that wear it as a matter of choice when it is well established that the pedos book does not require it?
    Have you ever thought about the stifling heat that many of these women must have to endure just to wear the hijab and chador and you really think they,ve all decided to make that free choice? It is very obviously not a free choice for many women but a garb meant for their dickless male relatives and husbands to keep them in check.

    In that case why do some western countries feel the need to ban it?

    Did you notice the thread title?

    Obviously a nonsense comment.

    Funnily enough my first thought after reading your post was that is exactly what ISIS did in Palmyra.

    Even funnier is how all you extremists sound alike
