I'm glad to see that they're banning it. Hopefully, other countires will follow suit. Nobody feels comfortable when they see that outfit. Let the women stay home if they don't like the law.

What a huge setback for civil liberties. Fuck the Dutch. They're slowly but surely following in the right wing foot steps of America. I dont understand how banning women and girls from wearing burkas is a safety measure. If a terrorist want to strike, he'll try to strike no matter what the laws about burkas are. Why doesnt the right wing government stop tiptoeing around what they really want, and just order a mass deportation of all Arabs.

Ok. So what outfits please the general public should be the question. Well I'm Indian, and white people dont feel that comfortable seeing saris. Oh, and all those goth kids, yeah, I dont feel comfortable seeing them, so lets make another law for them too. Yeah, and ban kimonos too because I'm sure white people will stare if you wear one of those to the grocery store.

People should be able to wear whatever the fuck they want. I dont see how how a women covering her entire body is offensive to you.

I find it amusing that such a redundant move could actually be seen as increasing safety,

We have a long way to go.

You "don't understand"? Well, let me tell you why it's not safe to allow people to cover their faces with black rags: BECAUSE THEY CAN COMMIT CRIMES AND GET AWAY WITH IT! Would a white man be allowed to wear an executioners' hood in public? You can bet they wouldn't get halfway down the street before getting arrested, or worse. These women, or anybody else, should not be allowed to do it, either. Unfortunately, the U.S. will probably continue to allow it for a long time.

Many Moslem societies have banned the Burka over the centuries - it's NOT part of their "religion".

We love "diversity", but we are not about to let these people destroy our homeland with their insane beliefs.

Your homeland has plenty of insane beliefs on its own without the help of Arabs.

When women wear Burka, their eyes
are still exposed. According to your logic, anyone in the cold climate of Amsterdam who wears a scarve and hat and coat should be arrested, because their face is still covered. (I dont know about you, but when its really cold, almost my entire body is covered.) And the government only bans headscarves at football games, so in my opinion they should just include burkas in that existing law if they're that paranoid. Why single out moslem women?

is it a customary pracitce for a white man to wear an executioner's hood? and you're being pretty sensationalist if you think he'd be arrested...stopped and asked a few questions perhaps...

and who the fuck are you to judge what's insane or not? just because your country has more money than most other countries? just what gives YOu the right to judge what is right to wear or not to wear? seriously, just who the fuck are you?
