Delulu Rogers 7,685 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 (edited) 2 minutes ago, Ladle Ghoulash said: Based on the description in the OP, it certainly seems possible. They describe the ban as being on articles designed to “conceal the face” or “prevent identification” and, while those are not the purposes of medical masks, municipalities have banned them for that reason. So stupid. I can’t see officers enforcing the ban if they see it’s a face mask. Would be horrible if they did Edited August 24 by Delulu Rogers 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can't or don't want to comply, that's their problem. Coming to another country - follow the rules Holy racism batman. Most of the muslims in Portugal are from Portugese colonies and brought to mainland Portugal. They didn't come to another country.

If they can't or don't want to comply, that's their problem. Coming to another country - follow the rules It’s not that simple though. When a law is discriminatory and harms human rights, it must be questioned. Although every country holds sovereignty, international law prohibits the adoption of regulations that discriminate based on religion. This specific law hurts freedom of religion and freedom of expression of the Muslim community, causing even greater harm to Muslim women who wear full-face veils. To give an example, banning the veil can drive these women away from schools and the labor market. Ultimately, it’s the same as punishing Muslim women for practicing their faith.

It is just islamophobia. If christians wore burqas no one would make a fuss about it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PartySick 175,746 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 I always kinda laughed at the logic of "we're trying to protect women from a radical Islamic culture that tells them what they can and can't wear by telling them what they can and can't wear!" Like f*ck off lmao. Guarantee it's just so they can have facial recognition technology create and feed bio-data banks of their citizens like they do here in the States.

I support laws that ban face-covering clothing in public spaces when it makes it impossible to identify people. In my view, face masks should not be covered by such a ban, because a significant part of the face remains visible.
