Should women be banned to wear the burqa in the UK?

I already responded to this nonsense two posts ago.

 

nice of you to dodge the question, but again, would you prefer to wait on a terrorist attack to happen where a burqa is worn by a cross dressing terrorist, or would you rather potentially save the lives of as many people as possible?

 

let women see wat they are comfortable in, why do u want to decide that.

 

I'm not dodging anything, you're refusing to give up the incredibly dumb belief that banning burqas will solve something. Ask the question a hundred times and I'll give you the same answer every time.

If you ban burqas what's to stop a terrorist from buying any other piece of clothing that conceals his body?

 

I'm not too bothered one way or the other. Any ban should be all encompassing though and should ban religious imagery from every religion - IMO it wouldn't be such a bad thing.

 

I find them offensive & they should respect my feelings just like they expect us to respect theirs in their countries.

 

Why should someone have to change the way they express their religious beliefs just because you find them offensive? I thought the UK was a secular nation that believed in the freedom of religion?

It seems to me the respectful thing to do would be not judging others based on their culture and expecting the same in return, but maybe it isn't so much about respect as it is you not liking burqas.

What do you mean by "their countries"? If someone is a citizen of the UK the country is theirs just as much as it is yours. The way people act and behave back in the Middle East shouldn't have any influence on how you treat your own. Individual character should be what defines a person, not the country that person came from.

 

I hate the way burqas look but I think people should be able to wear whatever they want if it's not too offensive to people around.

@d16
how would you "be safe" by banning burqas? a terrorist who would want to bomb something could just wear baggy pants and a big t-shirt like some rappers do and he would have plenty of space to hide bombs underneath those clothes. Should we ban everything except spandex bodysuits to make sure it's impossible for someone to have something underneath their clothes?
This is the new anti-terrorist suit we should all wear: )

 

Jees man, you could have atleast used a girl's picture.

 

you got to understand people like d16man would be happy living in a police state if they leaders of the country told them it was for their safety

If GW got on the tv and said we need to have a curfew and soldiers on every corner to keeps us safe from the islamists, there are some people here who would go right along with it, probably call people traitors or terrorist supporters if they protested it

 

If it's a free will, I don't mind. But dressing up like ninjas or KKK I disagree and that should be not allowed, or only for carneval.

Someone mentioned that they were no incidents with burkas and crime. I remember two that happened recently in the UK.

When I communicate with someone directly, man or woman, I need to see their face, or else no talks.

 

Did the burqa stop police from apprehending the suspect?

 

The chances for a criminal to escape are higher than otherwise. I'm not sure at this point but I think one case is not resolved yet.

 

My point is that a terrorist could wear concealing clothes just as easy as they could a burqa. Banning the burqa isn't going to help, there are thousands of other options for a terrorist who doesn't want to get noticed.

 

i dont think the intellegence and the police in uk is are fools, they have their own ways to spot their prey, a burkha cant be a hurdle to them i guess
wrong point there

 

It really doesnt matter whether the burqa is banned or not.
If a man is dumb, we cant say he shouldnt be dumb.
If a pig is black, and you dont like the sight of it, you cant just like that ban black pigs.
Same with burqas, its just a part of the mixture called society, so we gotta live with it..

 

well said, if you dont like close your eyes or dont see there.

 

Got to love that. Drivers license for everyone.



SURE IT HELPS PEOPLE TO GET PAYPAL VERIFIED

 

I'm sorry if people don't like my views but an invasion of bin bags is not my idea of England.

The burqa says to me "i'm here in the UK, but not really, i'm not part of your society, i'm separate".

Those burqa's are anti-social.

Jack Straw was spot on with his comments about full body bin bags.

 

Got to second that, so true
