“Burka bans” are contrary to the basic freedoms of Western countries

People in many parts of the Western world are calling for “burka bans” with the stated intention of improving the lives of the women who are expected to wear them.  However, such agendas are a bad idea for many reasons.

Such legislation is contrary to the basic freedoms that Western countries guarantee for their citizens, and it wouldn’t remove the more fundamental issues of Islam oppressing women’s rights.  In fact it would make problems worse due to it making currently burka-wearing women more comfortable in a superficial sense while concealing the underlying problems.  The head coverings could even be thought of as being “beneficial” under the circumstances due to it being an indicator of the wider problems with Islam in general.

If Western countries think that Islamic clothing is so problematic as to actually make it necessary to go against their supposed principals of individual liberties, then why are they importing so many incompatible Sharia compliant Muslims in the first place?  (See the article “Maps show countries where women’s religious clothing is restricted or mandated by government.)

Often well-meaning people defend and promote the propagation of Islam because they are under the impression that Muslims are merely a misunderstood and persecuted minority, due to information about most of the problems with the ideology being mostly suppressed by the Establishment media.  However, Islam is very different than other religions since conformity to every aspect of it is very often strictly enforced with intimidation and violence, such as in the many Islamic countries where Muslims are executed simply for trying to abandon the religion.  (Also see a collection of links which detail serious problems with Islamic Immigration into the West.)

A problem with Islam is the fact that it propagates itself with extremely high birth rates, with many families having as many as eight children or more, usually at the expense of taxpayers footing the bill in the form of welfare and social services.  (See the video “Muslim Demographics” which explains how Western cultures are in the process of becoming replaced by Islamic ones, and see a segment from the video “Creeping Sharia: The Islamization of the West” which explains what happens to societies during the various stages of becoming replaced.)






There are many ways to effectively fix the problems of Western countries being overloaded with too many migrants from the OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation) countries.  The following points detail some potential strategies:

— Western countries should coordinate with regions of the world to set up “safe countries” where new potential refugees could safely be relocated where they would naturally be compatible with the populations that are already living there.  For example, Saudi Arabia is a wealthy country yet it has not been accepting ANY refugees while Europe is becoming flooded with totally unvetted migrants from Islamic war zones.

— The programs for importing refugees en mass into Europe and the U.S. should be ceased, and instead their safe passage to the designated countries should be implemented with initial assistance from the Western countries.  Jobs and education should be available for the refugees once they arrive.

— New Muslim migrants should only be relocated to Islamic safe countries, and Sunni Muslims should not be mixed with Shia Muslims in the process since conflict exists between the two sects.

— Once safe and effective relocation for new migrants has been established, the borders should be closed and undocumented immigrants should no longer be allowed into the country.  New undocumented migrants should not be legally allowed to work, and they should not receive welfare or other government benefits other than food and housing before being safely relocated.

— For previous non-citizen immigrants in Europe and the U.S, incentives should be given for them to willingly relocate to the safe countries, such as through the promise of jobs and housing, and ones who are are convicted of crimes should be relocated to a designated safe country ([text addition June 15, 2019— where they would also serve their prison sentence if necessary.])
