I have never ever spoken to any Burkha clad women. But they were on TV clearly stating the Burkha was required by their religion. You should be trying to convince them that the Koran says nothing about the dress code, not me.

I don't need to convince anyone of anything. The Qu'ran has no passages in it that state a burkha must be worn. That is simply a fact.

You will find this interesting.

Why's that interesting? The world is a big place full of often very strange and very different people. What those women did is not normal behavior pretty much anywhere on this planet. They wanted to shock. Good for them. Conversely, I'm quite sure that you could find plenty of (Iranian) women who would be appalled by that behaviour, so what's your point?

They were the ones making a point. I believe it was against the suppression of women that is enforced in Islamic countries.

Which is a perfectly valid point in some instances, but isn't a product of women wearing a headscarf.

Rashomon says

Hilarious. You can go around any number of clubs in the West and find plenty that would stop you from entering if you had shorts/trainers/whatever on.

This was a hotel door entrance to a 98 degree sunny day you dink. In a tropical equatorial country you applogist fool.

You utter plum, so the hotel had a dress code as well. Big deal. I've been to Malaysia before - there's no ban on wearing shorts in that country, but that doesn't mean every private business has to allow you to wear them within their establishment. If you are saying that he was trying to prevent you from going out in shorts, then I call utter bullshit on you unless you were wearing some hideously dodgy pair of white trash shorts. That's it, isn't it?

Without chess the global economy would collapse,yesterday.

Rashomon says

Yeah, because that's obviously the same as being required to wear a headscarf when visiting Iran

Why is it ok to demand wearing a headscarf in Iran when it is not ok to demand that the face not be covered, "as a matter of public safety" in France?

Again France and other countries fucked up by letting so many people with zero interest in assimilation and/or capacity and willingness to produce.

Appalled enough to actually do something about it? Hardly

Why aren't they called out on it to the point that they stop repeating such falsehoods? Particularly in Europe and/or the US

Iran can make women hide themselves in public. The rest of the world should shun this behavior. Any world organization who holds tournaments and meetings in Iran should be shunned if an exception of not made, and if it is broadcast, people should boycott the station. The world doesn't have to accept forcing women to wear a burka, or similarly hide their faces in public.

It was not! Quit spinning shit you rag head. No Sharia No Sale not on American soil and not on our watch.

We'll fedex all of you bloody savages back to the fucking stone age.
