Non-Muslim reasons For the headscarf and the niqab.

[Tecumsehsbones]

Common sense is not synonymous with rational thought.

Since it usually boils down to "Whut was good enuf fer mah daddy's good enuf fer me."

Common sense

Common ignorance.

So I decided to Google 'hot niqab' for s&g and the first image that came up was actually linked to this forum lol

Anyway, I would assume Boomer posted this at some point:

pretty rough to have to smell your own breath all day. I'd carry a bottle mouth warsh to wear one of those fine hats

I'm aware of non-Muslim women who wear the headscarf for esthetic reasons. I'm also aware of at least one non-Muslim woman in the US who chose to start to wear the headscarf after being raped, believing that its symbolic significance might deter future predators from her.

Though I am unaware of women wearing the headscarf to cover baldness, it would not surprise me in the least.

As for the niqab, I'm unaware of any non-Muslim woman wearing it as fashion, but I could imagine a woman with severe facial scarring choosing to wear one, albeit perhaps a more fashionably colourful one.

If we were to ban the niqab, headscarves, etc. at citizenship ceremonies, should exceptions be made in some cases? For example, a rape victim or bald woman with a psychiatrist's note explaining that she feels safer or more comfortable wearing the headscarf, or a woman with severe facial scarring with a osychiatrist's note detailing the scarring and explaining that she feels more comfortable covering her face?

Your thoughts on other legitimate exceptions?

Costume parties?


BTW, common sense is what once told people that the planet was flat and the universe revolved around it and tomatoes were poisonous.

Now THAT's a funny pic.

A lot of huntresses wear spike heels in the bush, not many come back though.
