Even the Muslims won't argue that the Niqob has done a great havoc than good in the society.

It has aided some violent.

If we are serious as humans, this thing should be declared illegal all over the world

This is not 15th century , this is 2026 for goodness sake

This ancient practices should end

Good move!
"An uncovered face is, indeed, a foundation for social trust"
That nonsense should stop everywhere!

The MURIC or MUMU man will soon come for you all.

This is the right step in the right direction. If you don't like it go to Afghanistan

These Westerners would be trying to appear political correct

That's where their problem is.

Afghanistan has legalized beating women and treating women like personal properties. Did any Muslim community oppose them

They would be forming right in another man's country

"Portuguese President António José Seguro defended the measure, saying the face is central to human identity and communication and describing an uncovered face as an important pillar of social trust"...That is genuine enough.
Re: Portugal Bans Women From Full-Face Coverings In Public Places by LordLicifer(m):
They will go to UK-istan where face covering is allowed

France banned it

Now Portugal i wonder which country in Europe would be the third.

Aren't there indigenous Muslims in that country? If yes, then that law infringes on their right
Right to do what?

A Muslima can wear a burka if she so desires. Don't just do it in the public.

Our face is a central part of our identity. If I can't ascertain who you are, how can we live peacefully? Do business?

Abeg o! That's a good call.

UK is definitely Next

They are already at their wits end and are seething
over the Jihadists violence and are enraged by the utter disrespect for their values

What is unacceptable should not be accepted
I don't think UK would ever ban it. France did now Portugal but if the UK-istan can ban it, it would be great. But i doubt it, UK is a musleeem country

Well... There are no indigenous muslims in Portugal any muslim there are from muslim countries. Besides, if it comes to that the government would say it is a matter of national security once they say that there is nothing anyone can do.

What then do we call going about almost naked?
The problem is your eyes, your way of reasoning and your inability to take charge of your behaviour, instead of allowing what you see to control you.. This is 21 century..

Decency is not all about hijab.

But you have the right to go about almost naked even in public? It's your body and nobody's business? But a Muslima cannot put on her Burkah in public, suddenly it is no longer about her body and nobody's business?
Re: Portugal Bans Women From Full-Face Coverings In Public Places by Mirasteel: 6:11pm On Aug 21
Their country, their rules.

People should abide by the rules or leave the country.

Things I love to hear.

Islamic fundamentalists have been collecting left, right and centre in the past months. Not a good time to be a terrorist sympathizer.

Meanwhile, the law should be promulgated in all of Europe. Any ijiot who doesn’t like it should relocate to Afghanistan.
Iran, Palestine, Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis and all the terrorist organizations worldwide exposed themselves.

They thought that the war with Israel was the right timer to take over the rest of the world, spreading their hatred and wickedness.

You don’t like people, but you like their country. You want to live there and receive benefits while not working.

Wearing nonsense in the name of religion..

Isn’t that a self torture ?


They hide all sorts of things in that veil, while the male ones hide under it to cause mayhem
So what about Nuns that cover their face and body? you are just an hateful islamaphobe, you can keep hating and Islam will keep prospering.

Nuns wear it willingly, not forcefully like Muslims do ..

Ban it even in their bedrooms, if they want to continue to wear full body mask or facial mask in the name of religion, let them go back to their Muslim countries or head to Saudi Arabia or Iran, it's a simple thing na, haba angry

The same half-truths, while conveniently ignoring the last paragraph of what you shared. At this point, the issue isn’t just the law; it’s the way you’re framing it. Comments like wearing nonsense in the name of religion, calling it self-torture, or suggesting that people hide weapons or that men use the veil to cause mayhem make the underlying hostility toward Islam pretty obvious.

You can dislike the practice if you want, but that doesn’t change what the law actually says. Portugal bans full-face coverings in public, not the hijab. It imposes €150–€3,000 fines, with exemptions for health, work, art, weather, worship, diplomatic missions and aircraft. The law targets coverings such as the niqab and burka while leaving ordinary headscarves untouched. Calling it a “hijab ban” is therefore legally misleading. And the law’s definition of religion extends to a way of life, which is also worth noting.

Fine. So take your burkah back to your country. Or better still, there are 52 countries in the world where you can practice your religion peacefully, that is if it possible. Go to any of those countries where ladies do not expose their bodies, so your eyes would not be seeing abominations. Leave countries where ladies expose their countries. They are in their countries and not yours.

How can ladies wear very expensive jewelry and cover them all up with burkahs? How is it abominable that perfumes on the dresses of women wearing burkahs arouse their men. Heads need to be examined please.

And the indigenous Muslims in the country?

Is just like saying the Indigenous Igbo Muslims should leave Igbo land, leave to where?
Re: Portugal Bans Women From Full-Face Coverings In Public Places by MightySparrow: 6:40pm On Aug 21
Haba, why would they have allowed masquerade in their country in the first instance?
