So, assholes are giving out flyers. That is the same as a government passing laws forbidding people to wear certain articles of clothing. Makes sense. It's all the same. I mean, the assholes have the same power as a government to make you do the things they want you to do. Same institutions, etc.

I understand what you are saying. I also work in a bank. If somebody walked in, in burqa or with a skimask, I'd be hitting the floor, and the guard would start shooting. No doubt. In public though, I don't know. This law, and the French genocide law just don't make sense to me. Forbiding people to say certain things, or wear certain things. If a business wants to make people dress in a way when they enter their property (dress code), I can see that. To forbid people to walk around the city with a burqa or cover up when it's really cold. I guess different outlooks on issues.
Yeah, exactly what I meant with "thinking reasonably about it". Thanks.
Can you walk around ***** where you are from? How is it any different from this?
In the Netherlands it may get -15 at the very very worst. Usually it is barely freezing. You don't need to wear an astronaut-like outfit for that. If you wear a hat and a scarf this is no biggie. Just don't walk around with something which completely covers your face including your eyes.
I lived in Holland for 10 years. I learned the language, the mannerisms, the culture etc. In other words I integrated properly. All of them should too.
Well, it´s not about some nutjobs handing out flyers, but more about the fact that these very same people terrorize their neighbourhood. Women without veils are assaulted on a regular basis, men who are not clearly identified as muslims by wearing a beard or some traditional garment get robbed, beaten up or stabbed daily. Peoples of other faiths are leaving those areas. These laws are a symbolic reaction to this situation, not more not less. In France we had an organization of young muslim women who complained about being oppressed by their neighbours and communities to conform to islamic values and dress.The organization is called Ni Putes Ni Soumises, which means "not whores, not slaves".

Funny...
They are born in Holland, learned the language, learned the manerisms, play for their national team, yet they are still immigrants. Interesting, isn't it?
Once they hold a Dutch passport they are citizens, otherwise they are residents at most. Either way the law applies to all equally under equal circomstances who reside, or stay, here.
And 'Holland' is the only country in the world where this happens right? Nice trolling man.
If your clothes are on fire and you take them off, do you get arrested for public nudity? Oh noes must be the evil Iranian-Dutch fascists!
This is not a reasonable law because it infringes a person's right to wear or not to wear in public.
Next thing they'll target people wearing Halloween masks for violating the law.
So its legal not to wear where you are from ordie?
It says in the law that face covering items such as masks for carnival and sint nicholas etc. are allowed.
But seriously we Iranian fascists will soon ban people from having faces.
Actually the law makes a provision for costumes, and a 'mask' to go with said costume, during carnival etc. So if you realy wanted to you could put on a burqa if you wished even.
