Uproar in Canada over face-veil ban

In the Canadian province of Quebec a furious public debate has erupted over Muslim women who wear the niqab - face veil.

Out of over 200,000 Muslims in Montreal in Quebec, only a few dozen women wear the niqab, but under a proposed new legislation they could be barred from receiving public services.

  • I am happy for the burka ban just as long as it doesn't intrude on the rights of ninjas.

  • Actually I think the niqab is too revealing, a brown paper sack is better that way I don't have to see parts of there ugly face and plus if you going to cover your face you might as well go all out. Fuckking Muslims I tell you, they way of thinking is ass backwards.

  • The radio host said 'Muslim women are human and need to be treated with dignity...' Well, Canada, as a secular western democracy, needs to also be treated with dignity and respect, which it is not getting by people who wear a garment that makes sense in the heat of the middle east, and no sense in the snow of Canada.

  • This is good... and it is right... I think a Hijab is ok but the full face being covered is wrong... for public places...

    Don;t like it... fuck off...

    • exactly. and plus she was taking a damn languages course, where you learn how to TALK, and how can you learn how to talk when you have something muffling your voice? i bet this all just got blown way out of proportion, just like a teacher asking a child to spit out their gum so they can participate. money grab.

  • I have a simple question...

    Why must Muslims go to a foreign country and bitch about it? If someone comes to my home, as a guest, and starts bitching that they don't like my couch, my dishes, my lawn, my car... fuck 'em. I throw them out. And if their family comes knocking at my door bitching, I will throw them out as well. If there's a whole section of town that bitches, throw them out too. And if they protest on my lawn, about my dishes, I will run them over with my car then relax on my cou More..

  • In Florida there is a law that anyone over the age of 12 can not go out in public wearing anything that covers or hides your face such as a mask. What makes this any different, what are you hiding?
