Muslims should not wear burqa in public: Western Australia PM

[naveed]

A senior Australian politician has said he would not encourage people to wear the burqa because it is not part of our culture.

I would encourage people not to wear that type of clothing in Australia and as Australian citizens, Colin Barnett, the premier of Western Australia told online newspaper WAToday. He added, It is not part of our culture. I think in most countries now you dont find its the case.He said the government had no plans to ban the burqa worn by many Muslim women, but it should be avoided. The burqa has been a hot topic in Australia over recent weeks after Pauline Hanson, the leader of the far-right One Nation party, called them an evil tool of oppression.

Hanson said she would ban the burqa from all official buildings if her party wins the Queensland election. In response to Barnetts statements, Hanson told ABC News it appeared the government was changing position on the issue.It is a shift, from what we possibly havent heard him say anything at all in the past, she said. It is up to the people, and I think the people should have their say in this. Political correctness has to be thrown in the rubbish bin where it belongs.

Australias Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has previously said face coverings should be banned from certain places. But he insisted the matter was of national security and not religious prejudice. There are obviously environments where its important for peoples faces not to be covered for identity reasons, he told 4BC Radio. The fundamental rule has got to be safety first This has got nothing to do with religion or any of that. It is a simple, practical matter.

Would Muslim countries allow western women to wear their normal clothes including skirts . The answer is NO . Similarly western countries should not allow burqa as it doesn't fit in their society especially for security reason. as well .

Makes no sense. Muslims countries are called muslim because they are islamic countries not secular countries.

Australia is a secular country, not catholic republic of australia.

So what this ignorant and xenophobic politician is demanding is unfair and stupid.
Governments dont dictate what to wear.

Apart from Saudi Arabia, no Muslim country has burqa mandatory for the women.

What if an Australian origin women converts to Islam and decides to wear burqa?

صحیح کہا آپ نے، اور کسی اسلامی ملک میں ایسی بے ہودگی کی اجازت ہونی بھی نہیں چاہئے، اور جس کی وجہ سے دنیا ہمیں عدم برداشت اور تنگ نظری کا طعنہ دیتی ہے،( جس کی ہمیں پروا نہیں کہ مسلمانوں کے لئے رب کو راضی کرنا اہم ہے)۔
مگر یہ مغرب تو نام نہاد مساوات ، آزادی، اور برداشت کا علمبردار ہے۔ اسے ایسے اقدامات زیب نہیں دیتے۔ یہ کیسی منافقت ہے کہ ایک اسلامی ملک (خدا کی خوشنودی کے لئے اور اپنے دین کے اصولوں کے مطابق) پردے پر زور دے تو وہ تنگ نظر، اور ایک سیکولر ملک بے پردگی پر اصرار کرے تو وہ ٹھیک اور جائز؟

Yes, almost all the Muslim countries allow western women to wear their normal clothes, including skirts. Saudia, Iran and Afghanistan are exceptions. It's very common to see a western woman in western clothes in UAE, Egypt, Libya, Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh and in almost all the Afro-Muslim countries and in post-USSR Muslim states. Before 9/11, even in Pakistan western tourists walked freely in all kind of clothes, now we don't have tourists anymore. So, this argument is very lame.

In my personal opinion, if you are so conservative that you can't go outside without wearing a Burqa, then you should not be living in West. Second, Burqa is not essential according to Islam (covering the body-parts is). 99% of Pakistani women do not wear Burqa.

مسلمانوں کو وہ کرنا چاہے جس میں وہ ستائی نہ جائیں
کیوں کہ حجاب کی آیت میں یہی لکھا ہے کہ تم ایسا کر لو کہ ستائی نہ جاؤ اور شریف عورت لگو

صرف کالا برقعہ ہی ستر کا مقصد پورا نہی کرتا

Having said this Australia is behaving like a "Superior Culture Country" where one culture supersedes others...

The Point is Australia guarantees Freedom of Religion so if its a requirement for someone religion, then the state cannot contradict itself and it works the same for culture, which is why they call themselves Multicutural. Wearing a skirt is not a religious requirement, hence Muslim countries are not liable to regulate that, given the fact that most Muslim countries dont have any problem with clothing of any type so long as modesty is observed.

Plain and simple..

Would Muslim countries allow western women to wear their normal clothes including skirts . The answer is NO . Similarly western countries should not allow burqa as it doesn't fit in their society especially for security reason. as well .

Muslim countries accomodate western movies, language, clothing and even invasions and they cant even accomodate a burkha ?? :lol:

to be honest, in western countries anyone hardly looks at you

when you wear burqa, you actually get extra attention, people look at you

Quran doesn't say anywhere to wear burqa

it says to both men and women to dress modestly and burqa is Saudi cultural dress, not muslim

اصل بات ہی یہی ہے
کون دیکھتا ہے ہماری عورتوں کو وہاں جہاں گوریاں نیکر فن کر پھرتی ہیں تو انکو کوئی غور سے نہی دیکھتے
میں نے تو کبھی کسی کو تنگ کرتے نہی دیکھا

اصل میں اس زمانے میں کفر مسلمان عورتوں کو جان بوجھ کر ستاتے تھے
تو الله نے یہ آیت اتاری کہ تم اس طرح گھر سے نکلا کرو

اے نبیؐ، اپنی بیویوں اور بیٹیوں اور اہل ایمان کی عورتوں سے کہہ دو کہ اپنے اوپر اپنی چادروں کے پلو لٹکا لیا کریں یہ زیادہ مناسب طریقہ ہے تاکہ وہ پہچان لی جائیں اور نہ ستائی جائیں
اب یہ ہمارے مسلمانوں نے کالا برقعہ ہی بنا لیا ہے اپنی پہچان ، جس کی اسلام میں کوئی پابندی نہی

آپ غیر ملک میں کالے بررقع میں آدمی دیکھ کر ڈر جاتے ہیں اگر آپ عادی نہی ہیں

اب برقع پہن کر تو آپ خود دوسرے کو ستانے کا موقع فراہم کر رہے ہیں ، جب کہ رہ بھی غیر ملک میں رہے ہیں

نہی پاکستانی صرف فیشن کو فالو کرتے ہیں
باہر جا کر وہ عورتیں بھی حجاب اور برقع کرنے لگ جاتی ہیں جو پاکستان میں بہت ماڈرن بن کر پھرتی تھیں

یہ الٹا کام کر کے صرف توجہ حاصل کرتی ہیں
عرب عورتوں کو تو عادت ہوتی ہے برقع کی
