I acknowledged that they could potentially be a security risk not that they necessarily pose one. Furthermore, i'm not familiar with China but I would be willing to bet that not everyone in the Xinjiang region who wears a burqa poses a security risk to the Chinese government. Therefore what you're defending is a policy of preemption where you violate a groups rights not because they committed a crime but because you believe they will commit one some time in the future. Idk man but that doesn't sound like justice to me.
No one is saying its justice, its a matter of prevention. I don't know where you bring "justice" into it. Is that a buzz word you throw around to try and get under the skin of conservatives? Save it, it won't work on me. And I'm not saying the group of people who wear them WILL commit a crime. If you don't think a non-muslim could put one on, man or women, and use it to pull off a crime, you're delusional. I picture a pervy, white as rice good old southern boy pedo making off with a child or a home grown terrorist, of muslim decent or not using it to commit an act of violence.
You don't have to defend everything. You and especially anyone who comes to these countries should be happy with 9 out of 10 or 19 out of 20 things pertaining to their beliefs, or BETTER being allowed. Heck, from the many, many ideas pertaining to their beliefs there might be a few I don't like. Usually its when they make women wear burqas and treat woman as less than men, things like that. It sure is a lot better than the ratio Id get away with in their home countries with my beliefs. Imagine if I went to one of these muslum countries with one of our beliefs thats as wild as wearing a burqa. You think their would be debates? Votes? And then civil laws passed or the foreign belief actually allowed? No, Id have my fucking head cut off. And I know that is what makes our countries better, but a few, very few of their beliefs are just too much we as fellow citizens of our countries should have to take and be put at risk with. Its our countries too.
And as someone said a few posts back, if you're so much for people's rights why are you defending something so primitive, sexist, and oppressive? Do you ever just sit back and argue with yourself? Your own beliefs and ideas seem very crossed.
Edit: I hope you reply to my post Lee, and don't just pick off all the duck comments like the guy who said he views them all as sub human. Although, the notion of women as a whole in a society being treated like this does seem sub human to me.
