Printed was “the burqa and any head covering work by Muslim women is purely a custom enforce (sic) by Muslim literature”

This should have been “the burqa and any head covering scarf worn by Muslim women is purely a custom enforced by Muslim man on their women”

Nowhere in the Koran nor in any Muslim literature is the burqa or other head covering required to be worn by Muslim women. Even many primary school kids are forced to wear a head covering. It has nothing to do with religion. It is a cultural enforcement.

Proof of this is the fact that in some of the more enlightened Muslim countries/communities, the burqa has been banned.

The banning of the burqa in Australia would free Muslim women from an oppressive and unnecessary enforcement by Muslim men.

Pauline Hanson dares to speak the truth and in doing so speaks for may of the silent majority:

The burqa oppresses Muslim women.

The burqa has been used to hide explosives and to disguise a man.

Burqa wearing women lack in exposure to sunlight, thereby lack in vitamin D which affects their health.                              

It is Pauline Hanson who dares to speak up for the oppressed Muslim women, for their freedom from and enforced dress code - which again has nothing to do with religion - and for democratic freedom and equality enjoyed by all of us Australians.

Since the very beginning, the evolution of the human race has been governed by ‘absolute’ laws of nature for its survival and existence.

Our anatomy and physiology have developed over hundreds of thousands of years to achieve this aim.

We feed and hydrate ourselves, we avoid danger and seek protection, we seek shelter from the elements, we procreate … etc. So, where is it found in nature that same sex marriage is essential for the survival and existence of the species?

Nowhere, hence it’s not natural.

The loss of jobs in Ipswich, and in slaughterhouses and meat processing plants, which are closing down around Australia, is a symptom that should not be ignored – people are turning away from meat.

A poll released last year by Roy Morgan Research revealed that between 2012 and 2016, the number of Australian adults who are eating all or almost all vegetarian rose to more than two million (11.2 per cent of the population).

The jobs of the future will not be in filthy, dehumanising work, slicing up terrified animals, but in new technology that grows clean, hygienic meat in the lab.

The world's richest man, Bill Gates, and fellow billionaire Richard Branson have joined other business giants in putting their money where our mouths will be. They have noticed that consumers are demanding protein that's less reliant on feed, land and water.

Branson wrote this week that, in the future, "we will no longer need to kill any animals and that all meat will either be clean or plant-based, taste the same and also be much healthier for everyone."

The way meat is produced today creates major problems for the environment, human health and of course the billions of animals kept in appalling conditions and slaughtered in terror and agony. The meat of the future, for those who choose to eat meat, will be cruelty-free.
