Canadian PM: Muslim Niqab Is ‘Rooted In a Culture That Is Anti-Women

[CigaalSHiiDaaDCFC]

i am sick and tired of this focker's islamophobia, i amnt only talking about niqaab, but in general this guy just hates muslims, we must vote this idiot out of office come octobre, i will be voting for the new democract party, tom mulcair will make a great PM, liberal's justin traude will do just fine too, anyone but racist harper

The Somalis love to vote Liberal but Somalis only agree with the liberals on welfare payments. If you see the platforms of all parties, the Somalis are closer to the Conservatives.

Anyways Chelsea you are not a citizen yet so you won't be able to vote. This is not Eastleigh where you can bribe an elections officer to cast a ballot.

But it is.

This guy is garbage, though. He doesn't call out Orthodox Jews or Catholic Nuns.

Nah. In USA, Mexicans (most Hispanics) and blacks vote Democrat, even though they are religious. In fact, most Asians and Jewish people also vote overwhelming Democrat, even though they are HIGH EARNERS. Are you saying they are doing it for welfare? Come on son.

The fact is most non-white immigrant groups and minorities generally vote liberal because liberals are more welcoming and open minded. Thats just how it is. Republicans in USA have a huge erection for Jews, yet Jews vote mostly Democrat. Who else vote Democrat? Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Women, LGBT etc.

Thats because we barely see nuns who are dressed like that. Technically they are no difference, you are right. But they are more niqabis than nuns in our society.

Even though I am against the niqab, I would never advocate or support banning it. People have a right to wear what they want, without being told off by some overly privileged white people.

Personally I don't like when the niqaab is used to frame the discourse on Islam, be it for or against. Clearly it's favourite tool of Islamophobics, and the counter views coming from Muslim corners tend to establish wearing of niqaab as something wholly exclusive to Islam, and Muslim women. When in fact it's very much part of orthodox Jewish practice as well.



This is why Harpers comments is carefully measured to isolate the wearing of the face veil to Muslim practice, so he can inject "ant-women" "evil" rhetoric, less of soliciting inadvertent blowback. He does not want to suffer the same fate as the Parti Quebecios when they included the wearing of "other" religious symbols in a billed clearly designed to target Muslims. We all know what happened to Pauline Marois's PQ's. Harpers is sounding a lot like her these days, hopefully will suffer the same fate come federal election.

I know a lot of long time and very much loyal, card carrying PC voters, some Muslims, others Hindu's and conservative Asians who are VERY unhappy with the recent "Bush-like..u are with us or against us" spiel spewing from their party of allegiance.

Mr. Harper, keeping talking like this.. It serves a greater purpose exposing his bs for all Canadians to see and get him out of office.

this is how yemani jew dress women dress.

this is how yemani jew dress women dress.

But that "culture" is not "anti women or evil" if u ask Harper. Veiled Jewish women are free and devout, so goes the logic

[waraabe251]

The problem is that muslims seem to be crying about nonsense in syria and Palestine to even call out on these Islamophobes. Why can't a rational muslim who is well educated ask this liberal scumbag what his view is on jewish women wearing the veil. Why aren't mmuslims questioning the Christian child abuse. Muslims have been brainwashed to only show outrage when an Arab is in a difficulty

[Hyperactive]

my only problem with niqab is some evil will hide in it. my sisters tell funny stores in public/mall washrooms about men wearing it to just expose to women!

ps; my mom and some sisters wear it.

[original dervish]

It's used widely in Somalia......women often wear it to mask their identities as they engage in illicit behavior.

what do you mean somalis are closer to conservatives ? my main problem with conservatives isnt social assistance, its immigration, they are anti immigrants, read bill c 50 to know what i am talking about

as i said before i've never been to kenya gaalyahow but i wonder why do you hate folks from easligh? were you beaten up by a kid from easliegh sxb?

[FarhanYare]

Doesn't he have other more important policies to discuss? So, the culture for women is the one that treats them as sex symbols, pays women 70 cents for every dollar a man earns, etc?
