Muslim woman threatens the court

A Muslim woman refuses to reveal her face and now threatens the court.

Not that I have problem with Muslims, but they are too far off. They disrespect about the laws. Earlier I reported in drivers license, religions, debate (AntBlog701) that Muslim women wanted to cover themselves and making them completely unidentifiable.

This time, a Muslim woman has told a court in New Zealand she would rather kill herself than give evidence without wearing a veil. So their religion is above all? A damn good example of disrespect to the law.

You can read the story - "I'd rather kill myself than remove veil, woman tells court" (New Zealand Herald, 27 Oct 2004)

And the follow up story, "Woman must keep face covered, husband tells judge" (New Zealand Herald, 27 Oct 2004)

Rules on burqas Driver's licence: Banned. Passport: Banned. Giving evidence: To be decided today. Overseas courts: Allowed sometimes

What is a burqa?
A dull, monocolored dress that covers the entire body, including the face. It has a tight mesh over the face allowing air and restricted vision outwards. Women of Afghanistan are currently required to wear a burqa.
