we never say entirely. sure you can keep your own culture. but you should adept to what is normal in the netherlands and get mixed in the dutch culture.
if you don't then you are unable to make connections.
How would that be a problem? Of course they should do the basics, learn about Dutch culture, learn the language, learn the ways of life, but to go to the extent of adapting fully and becoming Dutch? I won't want to give up my identity, and the burqa is a large part of the culture.
usualy it's the man of those woman that forces them to wear it.
it's not so much a practice for being a muslim.
Again, not every woman is forced to wear one. I come from a place where Muslim women are not forced to even wear traditional dress, and the same applies to my region. Only the most fanatical of Muslims force their women to.
if you come here then you have to ajust to us.
if you don't like it, don't come here.
there are enoufg other options then our country.
And the Dutch claim to be accepting of other cultures? Talk about doing a volte face.
The important pan-European efforts to integrate Muslims and secure respect for modern secular values are at its core a battle of and for the minds of Muslims, not their clothing.
Fining women for wearing specific clothing will only create the most unlikely of martyrs out of the very people whom European governments wish to liberate.
But what about the women forced by their families to wear the burqa? Forcing a woman to wear a burqa is a serious violation of a woman's freedom and should never be tolerated. But in most European countries it is already a crime to force someone to wear specific clothing against their will. Enforcement of these laws, however, is notoriously difficult, and has been weakened by ideological multiculturalism.
There are legitimate security concerns related to the burqa, but a general ban against wearing it in public is not a proportionate response.
There are hardly many incidents where gangs of women in burqas commit serious crimes or act in a threatening manner. Nor are women in burqas likely to be terrorists.
It is true that criminals and terrorists can hide their faces behind burqas, but the same can be said of crash helmets and ski masks, the wearing of which no one would seriously try to prohibit. Is the government going to ban racing helmets, motorcycle helmets, welding masks as well?
and tbh i don't care what you think.
if think it is bad then the answer is simple. don't come here and bother whit it.
Forcing people off the land on the basis that they aren't willing to give up part of their culture and adapt is the hallmark of an intolerant regime, and goes against democracy and human rights.
