The niqab is a garment of clothing that conceals a muslim woman's face, as a means of practicing 'modesty', but I've also heard that it's supposed to stop men from being attracted to their physical features; however, a lot of controversy has arisen in western countries about the use of this piece of clothing, ranging from casual discrimination to fearing that they are potential terrorists.



Discuss.

Btw what do you think of turbans?

No, it's too much and full face coverings can lead to security concerns especially in the United States.

I would say no if the country already has a law against such clothing.

I don't mind turbans though as they don't cover the face, same goes for hijabs.

Total bullshit, it doesn't stop anything, if one of the girls that I like puts such clothing I'll most likely get even more turned on and impatient to see what's under it.

Depends on the countries law, if a country claims to have freedoms and allows for religious expression then sure. If a country isn't pretending to be for multiculturalism then muslims should find somewhere else to live.

If you want the freedom to walk down town with a clown mask on then niqabs should be allowed to.

In Islam, females are required to conceal their whole body, leaving only face, hands and feet (below ankle) as stated in Quran. They can wear anything as a way to cover it. As for niqab, the face conceal means nothing more than as you said, to practice modesty and keeping a jealous husband happy. Black color would reduce the urge to think of them in a perverted way and in Arabian country like the desert area, black color helps to wear off the heat.

According to Islam, female or male should also avoid eye contact for a prolonged time because it would invoke sexual desire and be considered as a sin. Nothing harmless about turbans unless you hate Muslims of course.

Allowed in general? Uh... sure. If I can wear my face-concealing Boba Fett hoodie or my Tokyo Ghoul mask in public, I don't see why they can't wear their face fabric.

However, I'd advise exercising careful judgement in where they're worn. I quickly discovered wearing my face-concealing Boba Fett hoodie into a Subway was a bad idea. (The lady behind the counter nearly had a heart attack.)

Also, institutions shouldn't be forced to allow masked people into their premises. If the movie theater won't let me wear my Tokyo Ghoul mask to a flippin' Halloween party that's being hosted inside (which, admittedly, isn't completely unreasonable,) it makes perfect sense for them to be free to tell someone to take off their niqab.

And in answer to the final bit: Yes, turbans are awesome. Ol' bin Laden can't change that.
Important Note: I no longer - in any way, shape, or form - consider myself a moral nihilist (even in my old, convoluted definition of the term). I very much do believe there is such a thing as objective good and evil. In addition, I apologize for any of the posts I've made that are rude, aggressive, or otherwise unbecoming.

I've always striven to walk a path befitting a follower of Christ, and now recognize some of my old comments here as misguided if not outright wrong. If you happen upon them, pray do not let them darken your view of the God I serve. He is kind, even if I, at times, have not been.

No. I think a full face viel is unnecessary and stupid, and moreover the woman is usually forced into wearing it. It doesn’t look comfortable and serves little purpose. Hell, I’d ban full face veils being forced upon women in middle eastern countries as well, if I could.

Most female Muslims in the US I’ve known, met and seen wear a hijab. I don’t have a problem with hijabs. The hijab is usually something that the woman often chooses to wear, the niqab usually isn’t. Turbans are also fine.

As long as they are not driving with it on, take it off for ID,passport or driver's license photos and take it off while testifying in court or take it off in security sensitive areas I don't care if they wear it.

Niqabs make me think of ninjas and assassins so I think it's on the same level as wearing a SWAT gear; if you're gonna go out wearing one, you're obligated to jump on roofs only.

And turbans make me think of genies so if I start caressing you, you can only blame yourself. All I want is my 3 wishes.

Of course they should be allowed in the sense of not outlawing it. It's just clothes. That would be stupid to ban. Some limitation for certain situations is understandable though but same rules should apply to all similar things like ski masks. What should be banned is forcing people to wear certain clothes. It should be discouraged though since it has negative health consequences from vitamin D deficiency and it promotes Wahabism.

Turbans aren't a Muslim head-dress. That's a common misunderstanding. It's a cultural thing in some mid east countries. It's the Sikhs that wear turbons for religious reasons. I always liked turbans though. They look pretty cool.

Very enlightening! However, I thought that wearing black in the sun makes you feel hotter...

I feel the same way. I feel like because they are extreme in covering themselves up that they'll also be extreme in other areas, like bombing or shooting non-Muslims

I think countries go too far with multiculturalism at the expense of neglecting their people. For example, here in Australia some shops don't play Christmas carols in shopping centres because they're afraid of offending muslims. I also remember an instance at a public pool, where workers closed the female dressing room because a muslim family wanted to be alone in there, so other ppl couldn't use it...

But because people are afraid of offending muslims (at the chance they will do something crazy) they are afraid to go up to them. Niqabs sure make them stand out, but in a different way; they're also intimidating and give off unapproachable vibes.

In that case you can argue, 'why make a big deal about guns? Just cause you own one doesn't mean you're gonna use it to kill'

It's more like hiding your face really. Wearing masks and similar disguise is already banned in many counties. Just imagine entering a bank for example with such clothing, you can't be even sure if the person inside it is a muslim woman, neo-nazi extremist or a potential school shooter. I believe that those things are valuable to muslims but they can be easily abused by criminals.

What's worse is that the criminal can easily vanish into a crowd of innocent people who are also wearing them which may lead to other serious complications. Security cameras also wound't help much.

I don't know, maybe my posts stopped making sense long ago.

That may be true, but it's natural to fear the unknown. When someone's identity is covered it makes you wonder who the person is, or what 'it' is.

Coming from someone like me who gets sweaty easily, black color helps to reduce the heat for me. Moisture from sweat helps to neutralize the heat accumulated. You'll be sweating more with a non black color and again, bright colors would attract males attention. I also find my sweat less visible for people to notice. A better explanation ; a black object absorbs all wavelengths of light and reflects none and that's why it appears black. Consequently, black absorbs the most heat.

In Turkey a common slang word secular people use for women who wear niqab is "ninja". I think this ridicule is justified though as they hold extremist values like homosexuals should be killed or women should be treated like second class citizen.

The fact that they're black and menacing doesn't help their case.



Discuss.


So I'm Muslim and female and the amount of niqabis I know I can count on my hand. It's not that common for it to be an issue. If it's about identification, then it's normal for them to show their face. They would do this in Muslim countries as well.

It's not an issue. More people tend to wear it whenever governments try to ban it, so it's just making more niqabis. But I do know of people who stopped wearing it due to fear of people harassing them. The sad fact is that a niqabi will probably be attacked more than them being the attacker.

That kind of full face covering isn't allowed in public places in france (outside of specific situations) for security reasons, no matter if they come from a religion or not.
And that's the right decision.

As for the turban, there's no problem with that one, so it's fine.
