The burqa has once again become a hot topic in this country, and this would be uncomfortably hot to wear. If the wearer of this garb lives in the tropics it would get even hotter - underneath it.Why do women wear the burqa?
We hear people say that we are a free country and should be able to wear whatever we like. I agree with this somewhat, but with the security level in this country raised to high, it is very confronting to see women (we assume they are) walking around with a “sack” over their collective heads; thus concealing their identity. This should be made absolutely illegal in our country. Would you like to sit beside a person who has a sack over the head? The burqa is already banned in many countries.
Here is Larry Pickering's take on it. Do you agree?
“I’m confronted by it”, says Tony Abbott... and so are the vast majority of Australians. Polls show the noisy Left has clearly lost the burka debate and now it’s time for Australia to join countries right across Europe, supported by court rulings that have banned this outrageous Islamic attire. It’s not only confronting, it’s offensive, unhealthy, obnoxious, discourteous and about as un-Australian as you can get.
It’s a nightmare for the security sector, coppers, prosecutors and an open invitation to suicide bombers and shoplifters who need have no fear of CCTV cameras. Along with mosques that promote our demise, it is a symbol of all things non-inclusive about Islam.
The burka is an exclusive “up your nose” gesture of non-compliance with all things Australian and our Prime Minister should listen to the almost 80% of fair-minded Aussies who want the damned monstrosity gone from our landscape.
A naked woman quietly doing her shopping in a supermarket is less confronting than an unidentified “somebody” in a burka. But guess who gets arrested? Unquote
The Speaker of the Australian parliament, Bronwyn Bishop, and the president of the Senate, Stephen Parry, were absolutely correct in trying to keep unrecognisable burqa clad Muslim women separate behind glass, in enclosed galleries usually reserved for noisy school children. I understand that this ruling has now been rescinded, but I believe that if burqa clad women want to look distinctly un-Australian, they should be kept separated. What do you think?
Australia is pressed more and more to go the Islam way, “Halal” registration of our businesses is a case in point. As their numbers increase, so will their pressure. Here is what Dick Smith; our True Blue Aussie had to say on this contentious subject.
Why doesn’t the Abbott government have the intestinal fortitude not to relent to the Islamic minority’s demands in this country? It is about time to re-establish Australian values and culture and to hell with political correctness. We have too many “bleeding hearts” in this country; lacking intellectual acuity, and totally subscribing to this stupid doctrine.
For those who don’t know. Here is a definition. (Author unknown)
Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end.
Senator Cory Bernardi is one of the few politicians with backbone and the courage to speak out on this very divisive subject – and gets undeservedly chastised for it. Obviously, he is not a politician who belongs to the following group of politicians.
Everyone’s brain is divided into 2 parts. Da left and da right. But in politicians’ brains: In da left nothing is right, and in da right, nothing is left! Now we have a dalema!
It is widely known that it is not compulsory for women to wear the burqa or niqab and, not all Muslim women wear this; for most Australians, a repulsive garb. So the question begs, why do some women want wear this unattractive “hangover?” We have to assume that they are women, it could also “hide” men, but we wouldn’t know. One has to come to the conclusion that women who want to wear it are not beautiful. But the burqa could also conceal people with sinister intentions, who want to conceal their identity. Are we moving towards “Australiastan?” I hope not.
People who wear the burqa should not be allowed to drive a vehicle. This garb has only a narrow slit for the eyes and will give the driver a very limited peripheral vision. Why our authorities allow this is beyond me. In Afghanistan the misogynistic Taliban forced women to have a grid over the eye opening. It just shows that women are not highly esteemed where Sharia law rules the country. We just hope that this kind of burqa isn’t seen in Australia.
Following is Senator’s Cory Bernadi’s view on the burqa (aka burka) - what he wrote is spot on. He speaks for the majority of true blue Australians, who are too frightened to speak out. – Werner

For Australia's sake, we need to ban the burqa.
By Cory Bernardi, Liberal Party Senator.
It's time to ban the burqa in Australia. The burqa is no longer simply the symbol of female repression and Islamic culture; it is now emerging as a disguise of bandits and n'er do wells. The burqa is no longer simply the symbol of female repression and Islamic culture, it is now emerging as a disguise of bandits and n'er do wells.
In Sydney this morning a man was robbed by a burqa wearing bandit who further disguised his (or her) identity by wearing sunglasses. The bandit was described by police as being of "Middle Eastern appearance".
Well of course he was (assuming it was a he) because the only characteristics the victim could see were the burqa and the sunglasses. Now unless the sunglasses had 'made in Iran' stamped on them, it's fair to say that the 'Middle Eastern appearance' line was attributed to the head to toe veiling of the Islamic burqa.
In my mind, the burqa has no place in Australian society.
I would go as far as to say it is un-Australian. To me, the burqa represents the repressive domination of men over women, which has no place in our society and compromises some of the most important aspects of human communication. To read the full article, click here.
