    I’m pretty sure their religion requires certain parts of the body to be covered for Muslim women. It depends which brand of the faith they are required to follow.
    Its still subjugation by gender, and not to my personal taste.
    Having lived in a moderate Muslim area of Indonesia, I can say that the observation is tolerated and adapted to suit local custom.
    I may be wrong about religious requirements as opposed to tribal standards, but it still doesn’t sit well, especially if it’s used to demonise some decent folk of my acquaintance.

    It doesn't, it requires them to "dress modestly". Of course some beardy twat has decided that means they have to dress like a fucking penguin.

    There was an hilarious phone in on LBC Radio on this topic last night. Some mussie phoned in to tell some shit story his grandad told him that everything beautiful is hidden, "Gold is hidden in gold mines, diamonds in diamond mines", etc., and this is why women are covered up.

    Until the host asked him why all the Arabs go strutting around Kensington in their Lambos and Ferraris and proceeded to press him further, at which point he fell to bits and blurted it out that it was because "men can't control themselves".

    The host did everything but say "Well we fucking can, it's you simians that can't", but at least the boy got to the truth:

    All of this was originally done to stop simians from raping women.

    Dress modestly is interpreted differently by different sects. It’s still a requirement, at least within that particular society.
    Even if it’s morally repugnant and morally wrong, the local law is adapted by men to suit their own ends.

    The whole covering-up-everything shit is a sign or real religious extremism.

    For the people that apply these absurd rules it's not about the Quran, it's about them exercising their power the little fucking hitlers.

    Boris Johnson says Muslims wearing burkas 'look like LETTER BOXES’ sparking fury

    BORIS Johnson has been slammed after saying Muslim women wearing burkas “look like letter boxes”.

    The ex-foreign secretary also described burkas as “absolutely ridiculous” and said their wearers looked like “bank robbers”.

    Johnson came out against calls for a ban on the face-covering veils in public places – but compared their wearers to rebellious teenagers.

    His comments, in response to the introduction of a burka ban in Denmark, sparked an angry response from Muslim organisations and MPs who accused him of stoking Islamophobia for political gain.

    Denmark last week followed France, Germany, Austria and Belgium in banning face-covering garments like the burka and niqab in public places.

    Johnson said he felt "fully entitled" to expect women to remove face coverings when talking to him at his MP's surgery, and said schools and universities should be able to take the same approach if a student "turns up ... looking like a bank robber”, writing for the Daily Telegraph.

    "If you tell me that the burka is oppressive, then I am with you," he wrote.

    "If you say that it is weird and bullying to expect women to cover their faces, then I totally agree – and I would add that I can find no scriptural authority for the practice in the Koran.

    "I would go further and say that it is absolutely ridiculous that people should choose to go around looking like letter boxes."
