This is stupid, whatever happens to religious freedom? Whatever happened to letting choose what to wear? 

We're letting the terrorists win when we betray our values of freedom and liberty and replace them with censorship and bigotry.

You don't always have the right to wear whatever you want. I mean, most work places have dress codes and the same goes with schools sort of.
In most schools you can wear whatever you want, however hats and other headwear aren't usually allowed when you're inside.

And yet people mostly only complain about laws against burqas and dont give a **** what woman go through in Iran or Saudi Arabia.  

Umm yes they do? There are so many groups who advocate for women in those countries. Far more people care about that than a burqa ban in a Western country. Idk where you're getting these ideas.

You might see more discussion because these issues are affecting the West which is OUR society but I can assure you the outrage over what happens in the ME and Asian countries is rampant.

I still remember when a gay teen from a Muslim country were outraged by the homophobia in his country to an extend that it was also islamophobic. And yet people here on this forum attacked him without having empathy, so I don't think the outrage what happens there is rampant, especially when we don't even listen to people and have empathy with who suffer from all that.

Nnnn I remember that case. He was making gross comments. 

That doesn't invalidate how he feels though. Also GGD isn't representative of the world lol.

I agree his comments were wrong, but people were attacking him without understanding his standpoint. He wasn't some Trump supporter or anything. He was a direct victim of homophobia in his country.

I guess I can get behind this.

 

Though if I ever become famous I'll just go on the streets wearing a burqa so nobody recognizes me

What if all the burqa woman I see is actually Merkel going to the supermarket?

This troubles me. There is a very fine line between safety, progressiveness, and discrimination here.

Female autonomy comes with having a choice, and there are many women that do not view their various religious coverings as a form of oppression and male dominance, but as religious deference.

Don't want this ban? so allow helmets inside the banks, shops and so on.. let the thieves do whatever they want..

Face shouldn't be covered in public places, it's a common sense..

Religion is NOT above everything!

I do not believe that faces should be covered in public places, but when governments remove religious freedoms, then there is a problem. This will only breed hatred and add fuel to the fire with regards to the unrest that occurs between the west and muslims who wear these garments. This will also not decrease violence. You only increase violence when you make a group of people feel like the "other."

So government also shouldn't ban honor killings?
