Many people come to Canada because it’s place of diversity and freedom. Imagine your shock, a Muslim woman, being forced to take off your veil and expose yourself in public for your first official act as a Canadian citizen. Yesterday a ban was put in place where all face coverings must be removed during the ...
When is it okay to rip off a woman’s clothes in public? To punch her and call her a whore? Apparently, some French people believe this is appropriate if she violates a ban on burqas. Muslim women are reporting an increase in instances of street harassment since the implementation of the burqa ban. Some bus ...
In September, Italy could be the next country to pass a law banning burqas, following in the footsteps of France and Belgium. A parliamentary commission approved a draft of the law on Tuesday. The current draft forbids women from wearing a burqa or naqib, but also prohibits anyone from covering their faces with a motorcycle ...
Tolerance is a quality a lot of people think they possess. In practice, it’s a little more complicated, especially when we tackle the subject of burqas. A Saudi student, Gawheer Saud Al Thaubity, was left in tears on the side of the road after she tried to board a bus with her son in Auckland, ...
Covering your face in public became illegal in France yesterday, and the police have already found their first target. A woman was stopped in a shopping centre on Monday evening for covering her face with an Islamic veil. She was given a ticket requiring her to make the choice between paying 150 Euros or attending ...
Which country should get a seat on the board of UN Women? Well, not Iran, their abysmal women’s rights record has taken them out of the running. But Saudi Arabia seems to fit the bill! Sure, their women must be covered from head to toe in black while in public or face the wrath of ...
The French are known for revolution and fashion, so there was no doubt the protest against the burqa ban would be good — but this is a glorious fuck you. The Niqabitches donned a niqab, short shorts and high heels to hit the streets of Paris. As they strolled past government offices, with their naked ...
The French Senate has voted 246 to 1, in favour of a law making wearing a burqa illegal. The ban includes all full face veils such as the burqa (mesh cloth covers the face) and niqab (a small opening is made for the eyes). The hijab (headscarf), and other styles of traditional Muslim dress that ...
You see a naked woman putting on make-up. She slips on some sexy lingerie, slides stockings up her legs and clips them to her garter belt. Heading out the door, she quickly grabs a niqab and puts it on. How is this ad offensive?
In Novara in Italy they have banned the burka in public places. The first woman in Italy has been fined 500 Euros for wearing her burka in the post office. For any family this is a hefty fine and for this Tunisian immigrant family they have said it will be a struggle. The laws are ...
