Why can't Muslim women just dress modestly?

That's all their religion requires.

And who should decide what is 'modest'? You?

No not me - that is in their old book - the Koran.
That is all it says - it says nothing about wearing a welding suit.

That maybe so, but if a woman decides that her own version of modesty goes further than that, then who are you to tell her otherwise?

It is amazing the number of people who would convince themselves that they are in favour of 'freedom' - but in the same breath would tell women what they can or cannot wear.

Well - on the other hand - what if people decided to walk around naked?
Is that o.k.?

I don't find the burqa at least confronting. Why would you? What did I write in this thread that shows this?

Then again, can you wear a motorcycle helmet into a bank? Why is that? To me, a hidden face in a public area poses similar risks.

If concealing the face is truly Islamic, then surely every Moslem woman would do it. My conclusion is that it's a perversion of Islam.

When speaking, the words do not communicate all. Facial expression and body language play substantial roles. The all-enveloping burqa interferes. Personally, I find concealing the face deeply offensive.

(1) They are nuns
(2) They don't cover their faces
(3) The nun's attire is not a tent

1 burkas are religious too
2 most nuns should
3 nuns attire is very similar if not the same.

Reply #82 - Sep 1^st, 2013 at 5:07pm Burqas are not religious attire, if they were the majority of the worlds Muslims would be wearing them. I dontr know how hard this is to understand, the wearing of the Burqa is cultural not religious.

Burqas dont look like nuns habits, have you ever seen one. Thats one of the most stupid analogies I have ever heard of. Despite which your analogy is incorrect, Muslim women who wear the Burqa are not members of religious orders. Now, embarrass yourself further.
