There’s modesty and then there is stupidity and hatred. And all of those frightening get-ups should be banned.
If they get into trouble male lifeguards cant rescue them. They would be an infidel male not related to them not wearing much clothing. So they drown and the family will be happy they died with honor intact.
My libertarian side feels that the bastards who demand women dress in bags on pain of punishment and death should be hunted down and killed like the animals they are.
“why is this girl prevented from playing netball because of her modesty?”
It’s not because of her modesty. It’s probably because she puts her religion above doing what is necessary to be competitive at a sport.
Those are models.
The real women will look like shmoos. Good grief.
Same death cult. New drab package.
Every time I see those Muslim women, I think, “there is a person who hates me, hates my country, wants to take it over and would someday dance at my death.” It is a symbol that they are not, and will never be, American.
No pictures...useless
Um, freedom is the choice to wear what you want to wear, NOT to wear a bag because of the misogyny of the men/ religion in your country. Tsk tsk.
Are those stones they are laying on?
That should be the Muslim section.
Because sports require agility and complete range of motion - which is very difficult when you have a blanket on your head - and you would be a detriment to the team.
Now go away.
I find them amusing and idiotic and self-defeating but I mostly don’t care....as long as they don’t try to impose their “standard” on us. when they start acting up and demanding that our women conform to their idiocy and evict us males altogether then I say screw you!
So be a team player take OFF the hijab. There is no "I" in team.
Women veil their heads in The Temple, before the Torah before Christ, and even today in The Temple before the Him in Most Holy Body and Blood. It is ALL for Him.
Christian religious women, who make a life, FULL TIME decision to veil all the time -- show their constant obedience for GOD.
In this way, covering one's head as a woman is for true modesty as a woman and out of respect for the life-bearer that GOD has made EVERY woman is achingly beautiful.
Extreme veiling, or in some cases, a woman who covers up EVERYTHING to a point that she is not recognizable as a human person any more, thus--in essence--becoming property for a MAN or MEN ...
....
I do not believe our loving, living, Triune God wants this scenario AT ALL for ANY of His children.
Might as well wear a wet suit.
I don’t have one bit of problem with having Islamics follow their religious rules, but not on the public dime.
Like the Italians and Irish Catholics, the Conservative Jews, the Amish and other groups who have had proscribed life rituals, ALL WHO BUILT THEIR OWN SCHOOLS RECREATION CENTERS AND COMMUNITIES, and had good lives within them.
netball is just basketball played outside on a cement court...
I played this sport in New Zealand all the way through school from age 7 ...
we didn’t wear a burka and we were modest...
the author wanted his/her daughter to be modest but they also wanted the burka OFF ???
seems that this person is a voyeur...
