Are they prepared to hide their beautiful faces for the rest of their lives, no sunshine on their faces or bodies, no Vitamin D from the sun, no chance to smile at anyone, no evidence of tears, hidden under a canvas tent just like your own personal prison. If you like this idea go and live in Afghanistan and join up with the taliban. What are you doing here, where thousands of our ancestors died trying to keep this country free, so that you can live a life where you are still able to speak your mind and dress as you wish. <br />Why don't we all wear a balaclava to get our photos taken? Because it is ridiculous and has nothing to do with religious beliefs, but is just total subservience to males, something normal Australians no longer believe in.Bevonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384492138826586132.post-43828558147585709772010-06-03T14:35:54.231+10:002010-06-03T14:35:54.231+10:00Werner I can tell you why Muslims don’t want to go...Werner I can tell you why Muslims don’t want to go to another Muslim country.<br />1. They wouldn’t get the social benefits; they receive in Australia.<br /><br />2. They are producing more children than any other group in Australia and we can assume that the purpose of this is to eventually have the numbers in this country to make the law – and we all know what that would be. Wearing the burka would be one of them.Wendy Frith (Grafton)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384492138826586132.post-16861107109482603352010-06-03T14:07:50.578+10:002010-06-03T14:07:50.578+10:00I totally agree with you, Werner; the burka is un-...I totally agree with you, Werner; the burka is un-Australian. I. P. Shanks was right; “They are thumbing their noses at our democracy and our ideas of female beauty.” The burka also undermines social cohesion. Women who wear the burka in Western countries send out a strongly anti-integrationist message. <br /><br />I was reading that in “Britain, for instance, this total lack of willingness to integrate on the part of some Muslims has become an obstacle to the formal learning of English, has heightened inter-communal tensions, and has reinforced the ghettoization of Asian Muslims into separate enclaves with high unemployment and increased social alienation.”<br /><br />Finally, the burka can be a security or crime risk: It hides the identity of a potential terrorist or criminal.A. & C.

We have a lot of bigots in this country, but you are certainly not one of them. Don’t worry about wowsers like the Barkmeyers of this world.John Demster, Cairnsnoreply@blogger.com
