BBC accused of ‘normalizing’ Islamic burqa in ‘propaganda’ video

This sounds about right for al-Beeb. From Russia Today.

Social media users have accused the BBC of “blatant propaganda” after the state broadcaster published a YouTube video featuring burqa-clad women addressing common questions about the full-face veil.

After the video, entitled ‘Things Not To Say To Someone Who Wears a Burqa’, was published on the BBC Three YouTube channel, the broadcaster received a volley of accusations, with users branding it a leftist propaganda machine perpetuating a “regressive” ideology.

Political commentator Julie Lenarz was among those who took to Twitter to brand the BBC’s attempt to normalize burqas and niqabs “abhorrent.” Some accused it of taking political correctness too far, while others said it reinforced female oppression.

The video features several Muslim women mocking stereotypical questions put to them by non-Muslims, who often assume they are forced to wear the veil.

Critical comments from BBC viewers include: 

• Be honest, if tomorrow the Pope mandated Catholic women wear burkas so men would not be tempted to sin, feminists would burn churches down.
• The burka is a symbol of a violent, oppressive ideology. When Islam is the majority religion in the UK, don’t expect similar tolerance.
• More politically correct nonsense from the BBC.
• The BBC’s attempt to normalise the burqa is absolutely abhorrent. When progressives morph into regressives
