Unless you are going to ban the burqa you can't ban a flag you don't like.

@zonavar68 I would argue the flag stands for exactly what it was intended to stand for - the official sanction of slavery. Burqas, while condemned by some women, are embraced by others. They are not a universal symbol of oppression, slavery, bigotry and greed.
The burqa is a clothing choice for most Muslim women. Most contemporary Islamic jurists have agreed that Islam does not require women to cover their faces. Less than 1% of European Muslims even wear a burqa, while in America there are about 1 million Muslim women in America, 43% of them wear headscarves all the time, according to the Pew Research Center. Afghanistan is currently the only nation with laws for mandated wear. However, 14 countries have banned their use altogether. That's called overreaction.
