Valkie and Gnads, I do so understand what you mean, alas, it is getting the wrong impression world wide, particularly from women of all walks, and it's not going to stamp out terrorism, it may even have a more dire effect, such as, how do we know if a 'nun' isn't a terrorist in disguise with a bomb strapped to himself underneath the attire? Are the police then going to ask nuns to strip off on the beach also?
At least the burkini is more skin tight than what nuns wear.
I think it's going about it all the wrong way.
And as I said earlier, people should be able to wear what they like, but as muslim women are somewhat repressed and have to do what their men tell them to, that isn't really wearing what they like......but it's the only freedom they have, and now, they are going to be bossed about even further by French male police.
Damned if they do wear what they like, and damned if they don't.
...or...should that be...damned if they don't wear what they are told and damned if they do?
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-08-25/burkiniban-twitter-shares-photos-of-nuns-o... Sorry, but that is a lame argument.
Nuns dress they way they do as an act of devotion to god.
Muslims dress the way they do to hide their women from society and segregate them.
And please correct me if I'm wrong, but no nun has ever blown themselves up, murdered people or has been treated as an object.
Nuns also expose their face.
Finally.
Nuns are the face of compassion, love, devotion to god and modesty.
The Muslim attire worn by Mohamedists is a demonstration of subservience, abuse, Dehumanization and fear.
A slight difference methinks
A nuns habit has been around and changed little for many many years.
The burka is only adopted by zelots who worship the devil.
Valkie, me having been brought up as a Catholic, I am more than well aware of what nuns are
It's still a religious outfit, and as we know, the Catholic churches are run by males, and nuns are suppressed too, such as priests have to be (which then leads to another situation of molestation of alter boys by some Catholic priests....but let's save that story for another time).
I have been in a Catholic College where the nuns are shrewd, harsh, and can't allow any different thinking re: religious views (which is why I was expelled, at a mere age of 13
)
The teacher that was a non-nun (in normal clothes)....was disgusted with the treatment I was receiving, and said I didn't deserve it, and that the nuns are sometimes just too harsh......it was her kindness and being on side with me, that won me over as....kind and loving. Something I never forgot.
Yes, there are some nuns that represent their love and devotion to God and modesty....but still all under the ruling of what religion is really all about....control and suppression of many things.
As for wars or killings as such due to anything nuns represent as their religion of such stuff, I do believe, that the bible is full of killings and battles in the name of religion.... as many charge forth with weapons and say "for the love of God".....
Getting back to the situation that happened in Nice on the beach, what is not lame, is the fact there is a worldwide uproar about it, mainly from the sisterhood of females.
Not so long ago, segretating Italians from mainstream America happened, and they were all asked to get out (once the Mafia was discovered....then all Italians were considered suspicious and Marfiosa)
Elderly women were asked to get out (after having lived in their premise for 40 years).....
We need to not put everyone of those people within their religious beliefs ,mulsim or whatever, as all fith extremists, (whom are deliberately doing a lot of harm to them all, by again, trying to force the peaceful muslims to be on side of the darker force.)
They (the peaceful muslims) haven't spoken against it, but maybe it's time they did, as they are all being tarred with the same brush.
