@suzimonkey345 Banning the Burka is dictating what a woman shouldn't wear. Is the woman forced to wear the burka, or did she make that choice herself? There was some discussion in France on banning the burkini, which covers a woman's body but not her face. Is that cultural persecution?

@suzimonkey345 You raise some excellent points. The government should not be involved in these matters. It makes me wonder if there is a relation between the banning of the Burka in France and Bill 21 that was recently passed in Quebec. Is it something about French culture, or is this happening in other places? Since last March, new hires in public positions "of coercive authority" are banned from wearing religious symbols. Also, faces must remain uncovered to receive some public services. I wonder how this will impact the display of Catholic icons that permeate Quebec? It will preclude (for example) many Muslims from obtaining jobs in public service. I wonder if someone wearing the Burka will be given tax exemptions for the public services that they do not receive, or how that will work? There is a rise in fascism in many places throughout the world. I think of people who have lost their rights of citizenship for being Muslims in India or current examples of ethnic cleansing as in Palestine or Mynamar. In the west, we have Donald Trump, who has made statements about Mexicans and people from "shithole countries," which seems code for "countries with dark-skinned people." On a personal level, most of the people I know seem tolerant and compassionate. Anecdotal?

@norskawarrior1919 How do I know the truth of your assessment of Islam? I know a few Muslims who have emigrated to Canada or the States, and they are lovely people. The men do not seem to abuse women. I don't care what people wear if it is their choice. I think you may be a bigot.

@ozking842 What would you say now, Arnold?

@warrenmarsh5626 If you find what I say silly, I am probably sillier. Hideous things can happen under Sharia law. I don't see what that has to do with the Muslims I know and respect, who surely should be judged as the individuals they are.

@warrenmarsh5626 I believe that we are both correct. I have had a lifelong commitment to judging people as individuals. I don't mean that it influences my choice to judge them harshly or well.
