“America is a place where it can be respected, it is also a place where it can not be respected. That’s the great thing about freedom, you aren’t told what to respect, you can draw your own conclusions.”

I meant “respect” in the sense that if that’s her choice, a woman should be allowed to use the veil without being limited to her own home.

“I often see families in restaurants where the mother is wearing a niqab and shovelling food up inside a flap of cloth. It is a horrible sight and I feel very sorry for her children who can’t see her face.”

I’m sure she must have been equally horrified by some of your customs as well.

@Nur Alia, the people in the photograph are allowed to wear those clothes.

Personally, I don’t believe people should be allowed to cover their faces when in public buildings.

@HGG, “America should be a place where this is respected”

America is a place where it can be respected, it is also a place where it can not be respected. That’s the great thing about freedom, you aren’t told what to respect, you can draw your own conclusions.

I often see families in restaurants where the mother is wearing a niqab and shovelling food up inside a flap of cloth. It is a horrible sight and I feel very sorry for her children who can’t see her face.

@Hgg
I wouldn’t really be surprised if they were after all idiotic bigots have a tendency to stick together just think back to spencer when he defended bare naked islam http://spencerwatch.com/2011/11/30/anti-muslim-bigot-robert-spencer-comes-to-the-defense-of-genocidal-site-%E2%80%9Cbarenakedislam%E2%80%9D/

Any Tea-party candidate who sells out with the rest of the Republican party to lobbyists like the Koch Bros. and Goldman Sachs to assign corporate interests is the only garbage bag here.

“The photo was originally uploaded by “Proud to be an Infidel,” a Muslim-bashing page with the following slogan: “It’s not Islamophobia when they are really trying to kill you.”

That’s the same slogan BareNaked Islam has. Are they related?

Its America. Were this garb (short version of garbage?) at HOME or in the MOSQUE if you want to be here. If you were a NUN that is a uniform of sorts. This is NOT.

So if Kim Kardashian donned one, she wouldn’t be considered a Garbage Bag? Oh wait. She DID don one in Dubai & personally, she truly IS a garbage bag, NOT Muslim women despite what some may say.

The picture is photoshopped. The original can be found here:

@Deccal: “Are you going to honestly tell me that she’s wrong and that they don’t look like garbage bags. Because they do.”

Please, I am dying to know your opinion of dark skinned people (African ethnicity)…what do they remind you of?

If your answer is – just what I suspect your answer is, then you need help, asap.

@Mindy, can you point me in the direction of some nuns dressed the same way please?

Are you going to honestly tell me that she’s wrong and that they don’t look like garbage bags. Because they do.

Why can’t white supremacists make their mind up? Do they want to “hate” or “save” Muslim women? Because you can’t do both.

While I totally disagree with the alleged moral principles behind the Hijab and the Niqab, those racists are in no moral position to judge other people. All minorities hate those assholes (who, thankfully, are not a majority) for a good reason, it seems.
