Sharia Law Implemented Under Cover of COVIDSCAM - Lone Ranger Hi Ho Silver Away!

Ed.'s note: What is happening here under stealth is the implementation of Sharia law as the attempted enforcement of masks is being made into a "decency law." Masks have nothing to do with the law or safety, so what we see here is the promotion of masks as a "standard form of required garb." Masks are being forced as a "decency statement" and not a health issue. What is being claimed is that you can be denied service including at hospitals. No hospital can deny a person services regardless of whether or not they wear a mask. It is a right to use a hospital under international law. People want to live in a natural state but these masks are being forced on people by heretical men. That's really what this is all about. In this case with Sharia law.

We are all niqabis now: Coronavirus masks reveal hypocrisy of face covering bans

April 28, 2020 | By Katherine Bullock

Is a face mask used to help block coronavirus really that different from a niqab? (Ashkan Forouzani/Unsplash)

Grey's Anatomy, the longest running prime-time medical drama on U.S. television, contains many scenes of doctors and nurses in full gear (hospital scrubs, surgical caps, face masks) around the operating table. As they talk, laugh and argue, close-ups of the actors' eyes convey concentration and emotion.

These scenes contradict one of the common arguments against face coverings — or more accurately, niqabs worn by some Muslim women — that they are a barrier to communication.

Now that face masks are being used to help fight against the spread of COVID-19, it has caused some to look anew at general discrimination against Muslim women wearing niqabs. And it has got me wondering about Québec's face-covering ban, which came into law in October 2017 as well as France's ban which came into law in 2011.

If Canadians, Americans and Europeans can get used to the new ubiquitous face masks, will they also get used to niqabs? Will discrimination against the few women in the West who wear it stop?

History of face politics

The European disapproval of the face veil has a long history, as I learned while researching for my book on Canadian Muslim women and the veil.

Niqab has been seen as both a symbol of cultural threat and also of the silencing of Muslim women. In her book, Western Representations of the Muslim Woman, Moja Kahf traces one of the first discussions of the veil in western fiction to the novel Don Quixote. One of the novel's characters, Dorotea, asks about a veiled woman who walks into an inn: "Is this lady a Christian or a Moor?" The answer came: "Her dress and her silence make us think she is what we hope she is not." As this scene from Don Quixote indicates, European women sometimes also covered their faces or hair but when they did so, it was not associated with something negative.

Eventually, the rise of western liberalism, with its prioritization of the individual, capitalism and consumerism led to a new "face politics." Jenny Edkins, professor of politics at the University of Manchester, studied the rise of a politics centred around this new meaning of the "face," including the idea that the face "if it can be 'read' correctly, may be seen to display the essential nature of the person within."

The flip side of this new face politics became true as well: concealing the face became something suspicious, as if the person had something they wanted to hide, and prevent others from knowing the real them.

At the same time, we grow up learning our face is something to be manipulated, in the same way actors manipulate their faces to entertain viewers. We learn about "putting on one's face" with makeup; "facing the world" through our education and personal grit; cultivating "poker face" to deceive people in cards or lying to parents and teachers. We learn how to compose our face so as not to show emotion in the wrong places, like crying at work.

The face is often a mask of our real selves.
