Morocco bans burqa

In all honesty it's more understandable in a country where it actually poses real security risks, unlike in Western Europe where less than 0.1% of Muslim women wear burqas and where crime using a burqa has not occurred so far.

It's crazy when you think it's mostly a Christian country

A trend I've noticed is that when Muslims come into mainly-Christian countries, the Muslims want the laws to accommodate them, but when Christian minorities enter into Muslim countries, the Christians have to abide by the Muslim law.

it's not about the fact burqas are the cause of crime, it's about being able to prevent crime by removing face covering fabrics

Terrible.

Not surprised, since it's Morocco, which is quite authoritarian.

Also not surprised to see Gagadaily members supporting this, since they live in their own little bubbles and have no respect for basic freedom and liberties.

Wait, doesn't Morocco an Islamic country?

That is interesting if so cos I thought most Islamic country would frown upon such law like this.

 

Yeah, Islam is the most popular religion there (around 90% consider themselves Muslim) so it just goes to show really that we shouldn't just blindly accept it. I'm personally torn on the garment. It's imposed on a lot of women and I actually think it's crawl outside of that but what's the alternative for them, just stay in the house instead as their men won't allow them to leave?

I would love to see it banned in the West but how productive that approach is can be debatable. Would we be actually helping anyone or will it just cause more suffering?

This is not voted by the people, Moroccan king doesn't care what people want, so the religion of the country or how many are religious is irrelevant.

I don't know if this is specific about Afghan blue burqa or is it general for niqabs, which are easy to add to hijab and just make by yourself. The article talks about sale and production, not fining women on the street. 

I doubt this is possible to implement, they have long history with niqabs, old women in villages won't care if some garments are not advertised or sold in markets, they'll make them.
