Description
I don't usually do political commentaries in Poser form. But this is just ...
The Danish Government has just ratified a law that forbids burqas in public. They claim it is to "protect" the women being forced to wear them. So they want to force them not to ...
Denmark was once known as a peaceful, clean, friendly country.
We're still sorta peaceful, I guess.

The ban is for a VERY practical reason- it's too easy to hide a male terrorist, armed with a suicide vest underneath it! Security Guards are way more relunctannt to pat down a woman than they would be to a man.

There's that. But the prohibition is SOLELY against burqas. Not niqabs or any other "flowing" garments. Also it is the whole notion of countering percieved forced wearing of a burqa - with a forved removal of said garment. Claiming to "protect" the women. Now, IF those women are really forced by some medieval minded husband to wear a burqa .. what are the chances she is even allowed out of the house without it, now? This has never "officially" been about terror. It's all just to "protect" those women (and estimates say there is less than 200 burkas in Denmark) What's next? What will be the next thing forbidden to wear ... to "help" people?
It's a slippery slope. Ending somewhere in North Korea or Afghanistan.

Good job! There have always been complaints when artists go political, but I think that's because an artist can make a lasting impression more easily than a political speech can. I'm sorry to see that Denmark has turned to the Trump side of the Force . . .

I agree that you have your human and religious rights, but if they are out of control a country should take this measurements. I only think it is again putting oil on water and does in no way say something on Trump. In the Netherlands we agreed to have muslima with a veil. The discussion came up when a police woman showed it next to her motorcycle. Please look inside your country how many muslims there are, who have good intentions. I work with many people who are muslim and never would not see them as my friends. They also want to be a part of the community and some already banned their burka. I wonder why we accept the head veil of human rights winner of peace Malala Yousafzai and can't do it with our neighbours. If we show respect they also will. Your work shows the anger we show about something that is unknown and war did no good to this situation. We are all children of the world, that often are jealous about what some of them achieved. Closing with the words… Give peace a chance

I usual avoid politics in my art but I like what you did here. You presented your image and explained the meaning behind it. So many laws are made to "protect" people but it does seems infringe upon the religions, traditions and rights of others.
