Freedom of Islamic Religion...

[woodychitwn]

Now...  I'm not a fan of religion...  I feel that it holds people back from personal acceptance and finding themselves..  But that's another thought for another day...  Because, while I do not care for religion itself, I fully support complete separation of church and state.  (However, I do support taxing Church income

There's really nothing I can add that Dire and Xanie haven't said other than wearing an article of clothing that obscures the face (such as a mask or, in this case, burka) is illegal in many nations because it removes the most identifying feature of a person from view. That is the definition of security risk. You can't wear a mask into a bank, you can't wear a mask into a grocery store, you can't wear a mask within 50 feet of the White House perimeter fence (really you can't wear them in public at all in most states). This is no different.

Have a listen to the radio piece I sent you on Twitter, it's from this morning's Diane Rehm show and does well to present several viewpoints from Frenchmen, Muslim women, and Muslim men. And, of course, Diane Rehm. :D

I tried listening and was unable to commit the time...

That being said, I see your point and believe that you should not be allowed to obscure your face in certain places as noted. This is why women-only business establishments are so very popular within the Islamic culture.

This is a very interesting point!

In my opinion, you are not a fan of Religion because it would directly conflict with your overtly sexual lifestyle. Acceptance and "Finding Onself" can be found in the presence of God

Are you kidding me?

Is this post for real?

He is entitled to his opinion as much as anyone.

First you literally call Woody a slut and then you have the balls to say that EVERY muslim woman is free to not wear the veil is they damn well pleased.

I wonder what it's like over there. In this country, men don't leer at exposed *faces*.

Interesting thoughts re: keeping things equal. Though frankly, I've not seen much evidence of attractiveness getting males anywhere in business. Heck, looking at most musicians and actors these days, it's far from a requirement. I've heard some straight guys actually resent attractive members of the same sex far more than women do.
