Opinion: Don’t be fooled, this is an Islamapologist propaganda piece written by a Gender Studies Leftie, published by a failed newspaper (now online blog) which is majority owned by a Saudi Sheikh. Imagine punishing women by saying you can’t be forced by men to cover your face🙄

Don’t punish any. Women should wear what they’re accustomed.

Punishing men hiding as women under the Burqa. Obviously, you didn't lose family in the blasts !!

No it's not there is nothing in the quran that says you have to cover up this way. This is personal and no Islamic requirement

Agreed

Sri Lankans aren’t Arab, why do they bother covering their face? It’s not their tradition. Not even their religion. Christianity and Islam belongs to the Middle Easterners. Who are these people trying to fool?

don't be fool it is from the Independent .

I still don't understand why a woman would choose to wear a niqab. Surely that God/Allah doesn't ask for that. However, it's clear that when women are wearing it for years, it becomes at a certain point difficult or almost impossible for them to remove it without feeling bad.

'... there has been no evidence to suggest that the niqab or burqa was used by the suicide bombers' Whoever wrote this is so dumb. May be it was not used by bombers in this instance but it was widely used elsewhere AND it was used to disguise terrorists to escape.

The Qatar money propaganda in action

It’s time to do the same in Europe

Looks like a very sensible thing to me.

The burka is a punishment for women, don’t be fooled.

they are just trying to protect the women from being eaten by pac man
