        While I dont know how more moderate groups handle it, instruments other than the traditional hand-drum called the ‘daf’ is forbidden.

        That rant was not very coherent, I had some bad family experiences that were fresh, I will delete it.

        Im angry something regressive like the burka gets representation. People should be aware of how incredibly degrading the rhetoric that is used to justify women covering everything except their eyes is.

            To be clear I am very much against burka bans, anything similar that would limit them, or treating them differently.

            I am just against it in principle because of the ideas behind it and against it being seen and represented as something ok. The two are different, I don’t think the latter would get you called racist.

            Also, a lot of opposition to the burka comes from a place of xenophobia. So much by groups that would otherwise be against many things that benefit women and whod have aneurysm at the mention of feminism.
