Niqab

This is a buzz word today. for hundreds of years before the last few weeks most people in this country would not be able to differentiate a niqab from a 'pickup'.

I got up early this morning , could have slept for longer but decided to get up and go to a well known super market to buy some provisions before the hoards of shoppers march in , I just cannot stand the scurry when it's a Sunday , and have that dreaded curse :work tomorrow.

I entered the supermarket and noticed that there were two or three women wearing the niqab . Well so what? It doesn't bother me , it's their choice ,If for whatever reason they don't want to show me their faces , there are plenty of other beauties around for me to ogle at .




I saw cameras everywhere in the supermarket , I remembered that I always have to take my bicycle helmet off when I go to banks. I was also asked to take off a flat cap when entering a particular establishment .

So with due respect to these ladies who were all quietly and independently of eachother doing their shopping . What if one was a thief ? of course some would argue that how can one so devout to a religion be so inclined . But I do not buy that argument . I dont't care if you are a Christian, Muslim , Jew , Polytheist or Atheist , what you say about yourself and your morals is separate from what you actually do.

Now if one of those ladies were a thief or come to think of it,( which proves my point even more) , they could have been men dressed up ? Lets say one of those people happened to be a thief . What use would the camera be?

This is not about religion . Even if it is about religion I argue that even religion is not sacred in a world of humans . For as Diogenese argued : 'We are thrice human '

I bought my sunflower oil , kidney beans, scones and some other items and returned.
Time flies , I must walk Wolfgang the dog and come back to eat and have a nap, the rest of the week I will feel deprived of sleep and mentally drained .
What is religion, I think I have read too much about it and disowned my own Greek Orthodox version . I guess there is some good in religion ...but I prefer to do business with those individuals that think for themselves about the mysteries of life and death , that can be honest enough to say they don't really know but are willing to learn .
Peace be with you .
