Rachel Johnson Says Her Brother's Burka Comments Didn't Go Far Enough | Good Morning Britain

Last month, former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson penned an article on the Burka which received a lot of backlash as he made comparisons to 'bank robbers' and 'letterboxes'. His sister, Rachel tells GMB that his comments didn't go far enough and calls for a full ban in the UK. She is joined by Sahar Al-Faifi who shares why she chooses to cover her face with the burka.

[@Blackjax137]

It's disingenuous to frame Sahar as the lived reality for ALL women wearing a veil. It certainly isn't in religiously conservative countries where faith doctrine is law. While banning the veil is utterly absurd, Rachel is correct on that. There is no easy answer to protect women who are conditioned or are otherwise forced to wear the veil, and those who choose to voluntarily. And how do you sort those who are conditioned but lie out of fear of reprisal? Best you can do is offer them protective services and the ability to come forward.

[@la_illaha_ill_allah]

It is also disingenuous to frame women who are forced to wear it as being the lived reality for ALL women wearing a veil. Most women who wear it choose to wear it out of love and belief for their religion. Some women being forced doesn't mean no women are allowed to wear it. And by the way, in religiously conservative countries wearing the burka is not the law. It is not the law in Saudi Arabia or in Iran.

[@Blackjax137]

@@la_illaha_ill_allah First of all, strawman. Saying it is disingenuous to frame Sahar’s example as the reality for all women =/= all women are forced to wear the veil. You concede yourself that some are indeed forced. Secondly, Saudi Arabia isn’t that religiously conservative by comparison and you’re wrong. Iran does mandate that all women, regardless of religion, must wear a veil. Or did the brutal killing of Mahsa Imani in custody for allegedly wearing a veil incorrectly, sparking mass civil unrest, not happen in your mind? The same is true for Afghanistan, Palestine, and the Aceh Province in Indonesia. Not including subcultures and religious communities here in the UK and other western countries where women may face reprisal from their families, friends, partners and the communities themselves. Even if not sanctioned by the state.

As for you point how we know some woman are being force or not that the thing we are trying more so we are trying to teach people islam so they understand forcing someone to do something isn’t islam and against what allah have told us hope you understand.

[@anonymousanonymous2319]

There is a difference, the face mask doesn't cover the entire face. It's just the mouth and nose. Also it was the norm of the society at the time due to the health situation and risks of not covering the nose and mouth. The Burqa hasn't made any positive contributions to British society and it's hard to argue that Islam has made more positive than negative contributions across Europe. The problem is that many don't believe in the concept of national laws as only Sharia is deemed acceptable

you need to realise the story because which the covering came into being in islam. It about eve teasing one of mohammad wife by mohammad best friend Umar when she would go out to defecate at night. That when instead telling umar to stop eve teaasing because he was a warrior Mohammad told his own wife to cover up. If this is the story. Quran also states "Your wives are like farmland for you,1 so approach them as you please.2 And send forth something good .for yourselves.3 Be mindful of Allah, and know that you will meet Him. And give good news to the believers." This Ayah al-Baqarah (The Cow) 2:223 . this is as per muslim is what god spoke to Mohammad.

Rachel: "My doubts about the full face veil is were the women choosing to cover their faces". Sahar confirms it's her choice. Rachel: "I still have a problem with the full face" It's possible she has stereotypes as well that's why she thinks it's causing problems on the streets. If she only mentioned the cultural shock, I would understand and respect that but it also wouldn't make it right to suggest others take off something that has meaning to them just to make you feel comfortable. I am also glad she pointed out that from a feminist point of view, there is nothing wrong with this because there isn't.

so when someone shows their legs/body etc it’s fine but when they choose to cover their body it’s wrong?😂 it’s their own choice they should be able to wear what they feel comfortable in.

[@etaylor8028]

It’s not covering their body - it’s covering everything. It’s walking around like a Halloween ghost. It’s removing all identity. Notice only the women have to do this, because of sexism against women that is so rampant in Islamic countries.

[@vg7735]

What is the religious reasoning behind this God wanting worshippers to cover up their hair and faces? Surely there is an explanation? Also, if it is just a way to worship why do many Muslim countries require covering up for modesty or require non-Muslims to cover up. If it is truly a choice then why is she doing what she says God wants or instructs? The problem is that a lot of people are conditioned or forced to cover up. Is it really choice when you are pressured or encouraged to cover up? I would say the same thing about people wearing skimpy sexy clothes. Is it really a choice if you live in a society where you are conditioned to dress skimpy and sexy?

Women should be free to make choices, no matter how patriarchal those choices are.

Choices that symbolically or practically condone patriarchy are "free" choices any way.

Men have a 'dress code' too. They have to cover themselves from the belly button to the knee. It is different for men and women as naturally both the male body and the female body are different. Overall, it is fair and if you choose to not see it as being fair then you need to go educate yourself.
