That would certainly lead to an end to the clash of civilizations.

Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

thanks to those who answered. it is more complicated than i thought.
everytime i just think i know something - poof! :raging:
syilla,
your article was interesting.
since the ban is against the face covering and it is for security reasons, this might come under

This is an important distinction in Islamic Law. Things that are prohibited in their own right cannot be permitted except in cases of dire necessity (darûrah). For instance, a person may not drink wine. However, if that person is choking on something and can only find wine to save himself, he may drink it out of necessity. By contrast, things that are prohibited only because they can lead to other unlawful activities are allowed for any valid need (hâjah).

since i don't live in u.k. i didn't vote. but i can see it as a valid security issue, unlike banning the hijaab which i think is just plain wrong.
btw, for those like me, who find the various degrees of covering confusing, the link on the OP gives a link to pictures and explantions of hijaab, niqab, burka, al-amira and shayla (which i never heard of before), khimar and chador.
here's the link to the illustrations:

:giggling: that would be an idea especially since are so thin textures so that you can see more through blouse or skirt than you would like to.

 

[Md Mashud]

If a man did desire the face of a women, then we can say that the women would be accountable for not wearing the veil - according to the majority.

Btw, waajib is an order by our Prophet :SAW:, which are seen as orders by God Indirectly

Fard are orders by God Directly.

Why didn't they just Let the Muslims alone?

 

[Md Mashud]

Because they are jealous of the hijaabs bro! They don't like how we be so cool so smooth!

they have to ban or comment on something....

 

[Md Mashud]

they have to ban or comment on everything....

Fixed ;D

 

[جوري]

if we are going to ban this

we should also ban this

the Shpitzelach of hasidic women

as well as this

as well as this

nazarenos, participants who dress in robes and cone-shaped hoods to hide their identity.

because to me there is nothing as morally reprehensible as hypocrisy..
I am not sure why this is even a topic for a debate or a public vote?...
this doesn't concern anyone except she who is on a spiritual path!

 

[Tania]

I found the cone-shaped hoods scarry :X I would run from their way, not to stare how they are going.
