For the first time in history, and in the wake of the December 1st stabbing death of an American teacher in Abu Dhabi by a woman wearing a burqa, Gulf region media are questioning whether the burqa is a security risk.
Historically, other Muslim and Arab governments, as well as feminist activists, have not only questioned the burqa—they have also abolished it. Such countries include Turkey, Egypt, the Maghreb, Iran, and Afghanistan. Educated Muslim women living in large cities in these countries went unveiled for at least 100 years. However, Saudi Arabia and environs, and rural regions in the Arab and Muslim world, have never really abandoned the Islamic Veil. It has now returned with a vengeance across the Middle East, Central Asia, and parts of Africa.
Thus, it is somewhat amazing and a welcome relief that some newspapers in the UAE are wondering whether the burqa should not be worn “for security reasons.” One journalist titled his piece succinctly: “The Niqab Crime, and the Niqab is a Crime.”

are they all Nail biters ?
They can wear jewelry and nail polish - but can’t show their faces? Never realized that.
That murder was REALLY horrific.
Who knows, having long fingernails may be punishable by death...
Duh..
The Muslim Brotherhood has, in its published charter, admitted that they will destroy the United States by using our own freedoms against us, and their buddy in the WH is doing his best.
How do they even know if the attacker was really a woman?
Long nails would be a useful defense tool in an encounter with an aggressive male.
Well, they found her fast, despite the burqa
depends upon which country it is
Sensible people have been saying that the savage-breeders should shed the face covering. No one listened.
No. They found someone. There was never any question they’d find someone. The UAE needs to demonstrate that they are a safe place for the world’s rich and famous. I hope it was the right someone.
That cool you got Dubrai DMV here LOL!
From the book “In Conquest Born”, “We recognize that in man’s nature there is a drive to oppress others, ... Perhaps the true measure of his power is how openly he can indulge in this.”
The degree to which the women are veiled is a direct measure of how oppressed the women are.
This woman doesn’t sound like a scapegoat, by any means.
“”are they all Nail biters ?””
I don’t know but they do like nail polish.
“”How do they even know if the attacker was really a woman?””
They don’t - check out the fingers on that first woman (?). Those aren’t the fingers of a woman unless she’s a giant! Something tells me that these women are so ugly that everyone should be grateful their faces are covered. Probably their husbands are!!!! One sack, two sacks etc.
“”it’s difficult for me to imagine the government banning those sacks.””
Why? They don’t want to see what’s under them any more than anyone else does?
