Baseball caps are optional, these hijabs are not, they are not allowed to leave home from the age of five unless this oppressive headwear is on, sick parents impose this restriction in the name of religion

How is not allowing a kid to leave home from the age of five unless donning a hijab not oppressive.

assimilation.

Well done Austria for taking a leading role in trying to Westernise their Muslims.

Greggie doesn't like anyone else asking the questions!

Yay, go feminism!

Great idea. Just as we shouldn't have kids turning up to school wearing Nazi inspired clothing or iconography, the same standard should be applied to Islam.

Because Islam is a cult, now piss off and go live in KSA if you love it so much. Better still, go on a holiday to Aceh and get 50 lashes for being a homo.

Austria's right-wing government has announced plans to ban girls in kindergarten and primary schools from wearing Muslim headscarves.

Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, who rules in coalition with the far-right Freedom Party, said the proposed anti-hijab law would aim to combat what the government sees as a threat to Austrian mainstream culture from some Muslims.

If any such plan became law it would apply to girls of up to around the age of ten, however as most Muslims who wear the hijab only begin doing so from puberty, it is not known how many people the 'ban' would affect.

New laws: Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said the proposed anti-hijab law would aim to combat what the government sees as a threat to Austrian mainstream culture from some Muslims

Austria took in more than one percent of its population in asylum seekers during Europe's migration crisis, an issue that helped Chancellor Kurz's conservatives win an election last year by taking a hard line on immigration.

'Our goal is to confront any development of parallel societies in Austria,' Kurz told ORF radio, using a term he and the Freedom Party (FPO) favour to describe what they see as a threat posed by some Muslims to mainstream culture.

'Girls wearing a headscarf in kindergarten or primary school is of course part of that.'

Kurz, at a news conference with Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache of the FPO, said they believed there was a problem in schools though they produced no figures to support this.

'What I can tell you is that it is a growing phenomenon. A few decades ago we did not have this in Austria and now it occurs primarily in Islamic kindergartens but also here and there in public establishments of Vienna and other cities,' Kurz said.

He said a bill would be drawn up. Austria's main Muslim organisation was not immediately available for comment.

The previous coalition of Social Democrats and Kurz's conservatives, passed a law banning face coverings including Muslim full-face veils in public spaces, but women and girls are free to wear regular hijab.

It considered banning teachers from wearing headscarves but that plan was dropped after a debate over religious symbols in schools such as the Catholic crosses that still hang on many classroom walls.

For any headscarf ban to come into force in kindergartens, which are run by Austria's provinces, the government would need a two-thirds majority in parliament and therefore the support of either the Social Democrats or the liberal Neos party.

While the Social Democrats said they wanted a broader package of measures, they did not rule out cooperation. The Neos said they would examine the text drawn up by the government.

Good question, gweggy - what is the Difference between Islam and the Islamic State? The Islamic State is unrestrained, unmitigated Islam and sharia.
You talk as if you knew of some secret other difference. Do tell us.

Or beat them if they disobey their husbands.

Actually, I'm pretty sure there are plenty of white conservative men out there who beat their wives for disobeying them.

In fact, I'm positive.

Now, Herbie: I thought you were against oppressive rules regarding clothing - why the sudden change of mind?

BigOl64 wrote on Apr 6^th, 2018 at 7:21pm:


Point 1: Herbert is wrong about conservatives not beating their wives.

Point 2: Herbert is a massive hypocrite - he says he doesn't like oppressive rules regarding clothing, and in the very next breath congratulates Austria on their oppressive rules regarding clothing.

Not the Muslims living next door to me though.

What a load of unsubstantiated nonsense this strand has become....

'conservative' men don't beat their wives etc any more than any other demographic - you fools have been watching 'The Handmaid's Tale' too much and are buying into women'svictimhood.inc.

Christ - I took the ball up to Shorten yesterday over his high praise for Julia Gillard starting up a 'women's leadership' thing in London.... I asked why and when was enough enough?

Where are all the smarmies to set up nice little spots to bring on young men, out of the dark designed for them by ratbag feminism?

FFS.....

Anyway - I don't see an issue with head scarves... nuns wear stuff in Austria... what is the problem here about HEAD SCARVES pure and simple?

Is a Catholic priest to not wear clergy clothing to display his/her religious affiliation?

Fuctifino (a great philosopher you all should read) - where is this world headed....

Use the active voice, don't  hide behind the passive: wont be allowed by their parents who took them to the West.

They can always return to hellholistan if subjugating their daughters is more important than educating them.

What does that mean? That they should die because their parents want them to wear headscarves?
