Should the burqa be banned?

No lady in a burqa has ever hurt me. Men in suits should be banned though. Men in suits brought about my fathers banckrupcy. Men in suits run corrupt organizations. Men in suits do all kinds of atrocious behaviors in society. No one bans suits.

Ban all religious symbols, outside the home!

#1 Lots if religions have dress restrictions. Hasidic and Orthodox Jews, Amish, even some evangelical Christians. This gets singled out because it’s more foreign to people

#2 Freedom means the freedom to choose. My doctor where’s a hijab. Tel me she’s oppressed. She’s an educated professional who makes an excellent living. She chooses to follow her faith a certain way, it’s not imposed on her. I think she’s pretty awesome.

Stop being paranoid and mind your own business.

People who support banning the burqa really don't give a shit about womens' rights since this is the [i]removal[/i] of a right, they give a shit about women conforming to their standards.

Yes and I'm not making any political statements. 🙄

Now we are takin about the full body covering right? Because people cdon’t fuse the Burqa with the Hajib. I don’t mind the Burqa but it is mildly unsettling because with anyone I would at least like to see a bit of them.

I think we should compromise. Make Tuesday burqa day and everyone wears one, then make Saturday naked day and nobody wears anything. It's all about balance..

Treat it like any other piece of cloth covering your face. If they are banned for safety reasons(which I agree with), do the same with burqa.

Do you know why is [b][i]BURQA[/i][/b] used on the first place.

Its all about religious bigotry towards women.

Muslim women in the US, like people of any religious group, are guaranteed the right to practice their religion, and it's considered a religious practice in Islam to wear the Burqa. They can't be forced to remove it simply because it makes people uncomfortable.

As long as you show your full face then do whatever you please. Its like walking around with a ski mask on ...bound to make people uncomfortable and say hmmmmm...IF its that bothersome...you dont have to stay here in USA...go elsewhere and thats okay too :-)

The burka should be banned! Anyone can wear a burka and go and do what they want including travelling anywhere. So yes for security reasons it should be banned! (I live in the uk)

In this country, a photo ID is mandatory. They don’t have to live here !

Many businesses will not allow you on their premises with your face covered

i'd band it xD
