| 1132396 | 2010-08-28 01:30:00 | Hey everyone, If you're interested, please take my survey on a Burqa ban in New Zealand... spreadsheets.google.com Q Or tell me your opinions here: What would your opinion be if New Zealand enforced a public Burqa ban?? Do you agree with the French Burqa ban? |

| 1132397 | 2010-08-28 01:34:00 | Well people have their own culture, thats theirs. I see nothing wrong with it / them. So, I don't agree with the french ban. And I wouldn't vote for a NZ ban | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1132399 | 2010-08-28 01:46:00 | No skin off my nose what anyone wants to wear, Though some of those hoody wearers look dodgy. At court or when they need to identify themselves is a different matter, But its not upto teh government to stipulate what anyone wears. On that count I also do not support the gang patch bans, If people are criminals then put em in jail, keep them there, if not then who gives a damn? |

| 1132400 | 2010-08-28 02:30:00 | If I came across a woman wearing one in the street - no big deal. If I came across a woman wearing one on an internal or external Air New Zealand flight, it would probably be a different matter :( |

| 1132401 | 2010-08-28 03:39:00 | I think it should be optional. But if a woman of that culture decides to not wear it, then she should be protected against any backlash or discrimination. | SoniKalien (792) | ||
| 1132402 | 2010-08-28 03:51:00 | Wear what you like when you like. Can't see why it would affect anyone else. Might be different if they decided to wear nothing.:rolleyes: Zippity: Don't understand why it is ok in one instance but not in another. What's the difference? One place where it does matter is in court as Metla has pointed out. I think it must be removed in a case where positive identification is essential. Otherwise, leave them alone. |

| 1132404 | 2010-08-28 04:17:00 | I am all for banning burkas they are an affront to women. And you, being a woman, care? I don't. If they are being made to wear it, that's one thing - if they choose to wear it - who are we to dictate what they should or shouldn't wear? Ban - how arrogant, ban nothing if it isn't harming those involved. |

They don't always choose to be a part of the religion but it is expected . They don't always choose to wear a burqa but it is expected . They have been brought up with the religion in the same way as their parents have been and so being part of their parents way of life is expected . If that is the way you are brought up then that is what you do . Choice, in many cases, is not an option so they do what they are told and they believe what they are told to believe . The same thing happens all over the world in many different religions . This practice is just more visable . Having said that, I agree with Pctek . Who are we to dictate? Wear what you like . |
