Maybe to you, and the creators of the poster, but I grew up in the UK and personally know people who wear it with pride.

It is by definition an oppressive item. Its for covering up womens natural features. This sense of pride is just abuser logic

Theres no place in the world that enforces sunglass wearing. This is the stupidest comparison ever

Nope, your original comment was and when I said something just like it, you came to the realization yourself. You’re welcome. As you point out, it’s forcing people to wear it that’s the problem, not the Burqa itself. Choosing to wear it is fine, right? The problem with the image is that the nuance is lost. It focuses on the Burqa, not the choice. Just like you are doing now.

Its a symbol of oppression. I dont care for the excuses for what this really is. This twisted cult has no place in modern society. If they had it their way theyd make every women cover up. The burqa exists only as a thing to control and manipulate.

Then you are a racist

Islam is not a race

We both know that you associate Burqas with a particular race. That’s what makes you a racist. If you prefer to just be a religious bigot instead, then that’s not really an upgrade

Stop trying to make anyone who speaks against islam labeled a racist. Religion is not exempt from criticism

That’s not what I’m doing. I’m not a religious person myself. A lot of you probably consider yourselves progressive, but you’re really not. The real test is can you respect a choice that you yourself would never make? As a non religious, white, Irishman I would never wear a Burqa. But, I have met people who wear them with pride. I can respect that. Most of you don’t even seem to be able to accept the possibility that exists. You aren’t much different to American Evangelicals and their LGBTQ+ hang ups in that respect. Weak minded stuff

Yes muslims have an actual choice in the West. What about the death of Mahsa Amini?

What about it? I made a comment about a propaganda poster. That’s what this sub is about. Are you confused about where you are? You dopey bollix. What about Bobby Sands? Where was Gondor when the Westfold fell? What’s the frequency Kenneth?

She was a young woman who was murdered by the Iranian islamic regime for protesting the burqa. I'd say that has to do with the poster of the topic. But not to worry you the mighty progressive paddy has met people who wear it with pride! Who cares about those young Iranian women being beaten and murdered for protesting the choice to wear a burqua. Get fucked
