Cogs can think.

My government and lower house are working on/thinking about a law I wish to distantiate myself from.

My government, and even a majority of my lower house, is thinking about making the bourka forbidden. A bourka is the most extreme form of covering of the female body, mainly used by conservative Muslim women. It covers their entire body, even their face, arms, and legs. They want to prohibit it because “you never know what’s under it”, with which they mean bomb belts and such.

I am of the strong opinion that any man or woman in my country must be able to wear anything they like in public. A government should not, must not, interefere with this. I am sincerely shocked, and offended, that the government, and even the party I personally voted for, support this strong limitation of personal freedom; a proposition that borders, if not crosses, the line between freedom and fascism.

I sincerely cannot understand how for instance homosexuals wear the most outrageous clothing in my nation’s capitol; heck, they are even allowed to parade basically naked through Amsterdam’s canals once or twice a year, in a Gay Pride. Now, what is more dangeours to our children, a women wearing a towel over her face, or a bunch of fags prancing around naked? I’m sorry for my harsh words - I have no problems at all with homosexuals, I’m happy to live in a country where gay people are treated as equal to heterosexual people - but isn’t that the truth?

This newly proposed law (it is only in discussion, no one made a true proposition yet, but the majority of the lower house support it) is fascism at its best. I am allowed to wear whatever the fcuk I want, no government can interfere with that. If I want to shove a sock around my dick and wear a g-string on top of my head, I should be, and am, allowed to. Then why in the fcuk shouldn’t Muslim women be allowed to wear a towel around their face?

This proposed law is nothing more than yet another way to get votes from the dumb section of the Dutch people– not a small section I may add. It truly disturbes me that politicians are willing to fcuk over honest, normal Muslim people just to get votes. Why not take on those extremist Christians at the Veluwe, lower house? Where parents are LEGALLY KILLING CHILDREN because they do NOT inoculate their kids against deadly children’s diseases because “it intereferes with God’s plan for their kids”?

FCUK democracy– err, populism. That’s what this is. Pure populism. I say, back to the 19th century, only the wealthy and educated get to vote. All hail the Queen.

Of course that’s not the solution. Or is it…
