To be Disturbed by this woman in a Burka? ......

[Gingefringe]

I saw a very strange event in Debenhams make-up counter this week-end which on reflection, I found very disturbing.
A woman in a full burka (including her eyes covered in thin veil) came up to the make-up counter with a man (presumably DH). The man then proceeded to ask about foundation for the woman and had a conversation with the sales assistant which rarely included the woman at all (apart from trying on a sample colour on her hand).
I felt so sorry for the poor woman - not only to be forced to wear this ridiculous veil but she wasn't allowed even to chose her own make-up!
I did give the man my best evil looks but he didn't seem to notice - perhaps because I was a woman!! I was too cowardly to say anything.

On the day that France bans the burka I wonder whether you would have said anything?

so disrepect a non - MuslimBritish person is OK then? That attitude has gotten you nowhere....

the more i read this thread the more i agree with the French.

they prefer upset a humain been than upset god.
they rather follow god way than a human been one.
and most british understand that and respect it.

"1/ Walking down the street in normal clothing is not "flashing your sexuality around". Its just walking down the street."

I have to agree with that. If men cannot cope with a woman walking down the street without being overcome with lust then either they are sick and deluded or have serious control issues.

Can't be bothered replying to the poster who is clearly drunk and out to provoke!

I'm DRUNK? yes of course i am White!!!!

Drunk on Allah's love!

NOT

I wonder what would happen if religion were taken out of it. If a feminist said, "I'm sick of being judged by what I look like, and I'm going to wear a garment that makes it impossible to tell," and wore a burkha for that reason instead of religion.

you know the femenist arument and the thread on here where the femenists are talkin about not conformin to expectations and not shavin etc, its abit like that

yes you are just walkin down the street, but the clothes you wear, the way you walk etc is in a manner to provoke a positive response from oppossite sex, i mean you want to look attractive and be appreciated, i think i worded myself wron. it is not about other people so much but yourself, if you strip women of their armor and war paint then would they have the same confidence? i find it sad when women say they dont feel confident without their make up or if they not dressed nicely etc, it just shows that they used to ettin responses annd appreciations due to how they look instead of what they say etc.

britain has a history of tolerance and multiculturalism. i am more free to practice my reliion here then in many "muslim" countries.

That's an incredibly rude and intolerant thing to say.

Any God does not exist!!

Why shoudl i pretend otherwise? To placte a racist hypocritical Muslim?

placate

oh, heir some racism, get over it.

There's a difference between placating people and having respect for their personal beliefs, especially those that are not harming you in any way.

YouaretooniceNOT that is rather strong. Your experience of islam may not have been a good one but it's very offensive to call it bullshit.

There are aspects of islam and other religions that I don't like or agree/understand but can't call them bullshit!

you know, YouaretooniceNOT, you are waste of time, get everyting off your chest, you got a seriouse problem, get it sorted before its too late.

thats like me sayin Allah is real why should i pretend otherwise to placate some racist edl supportin athiests, lets introduce Allahs's laws in the u.k

we have different opinions but we can express them with respect and tolerance and understandin...hopefully

Wow.

Disgusting.

She's gone now, probably got a BNP meeting to attend.

we are born heir, and live heir, you are the one brainwashed, what ever you say, the islam excist and will last for ever, you want it or not.
we are getting their, just chill out

what country am i in in my mind? if i impled you are a sla then i am sorry i didnt mean that, i dont know you to call a sla, i thouht if i insulted anyone it was those hijabis havin waterfihts in my park,

who brainwashed me.

i am british, nothin can take that out of me, i was born and educated here, i like to que, like to et up for old people on the bus, i like fry ups and shepherds pie, and yorkshire puddins, i dont smile at anyone on the tube! since i am british and make up british society and contribute to it, my customs are a part of the make up of british society, and my culture is totally british, as i dont have another culture to take on!! lol

real rasict, I am glad muslim giving them hard time. Ha,ha, ha....

Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.). That is purer for them. Verily, Allah is All-Aware of what they do"
