Скачать или смотреть Should the Burqa Be Banned? Heated Debate

Should Britain ban the burqa? Is the burqa a symbol of Islamic faith and freedom, or a tool of patriarchal oppression and a threat to public security? This compelling episode of The Flip Side dives deep into one of the most controversial debates facing Britain today: the tension between Islamic dress, women’s rights, religious freedom, and national security.

As Britain grows increasingly diverse, questions about how to reconcile multiculturalism with liberal values are more urgent than ever. Is banning the burqa a step towards protecting women and promoting integration, or is it a dangerous infringement on personal liberty and freedom of religion?
