It's not wanted, not needed, you don't know who is wearing the stupid thing, for the person driving with the stupid thing is a danger, it's a security threat, take France's stance & bad the stupid this.
No, it wont stop it entirely, that takes time. But a burkka really reinforces the Islamic idea that women are second class citizens and belong to men and that is unacceptable in this country.
One step at a time, and this has to be the first step in the fight back against the Islamification of the UK.
Not wittingly, but your defence of the burka simply because you think women won't be allowed to leave their homes is tantamount to conceding to bullies.
Such a law would condemn many modest women to a life of isolation. The government has no business grubbing about in the wardrobes of the nation's women.
The reason I started following Muslim women on Twitter was because I grew tired of listening to white people banging on how racist they aren't.
The way some prolific posters ignore or fail to condemn anything to do with Islamic issues is quite frankly embarrassing.
Ummmm, but no woman should be oppressed. Where would you draw the line? If another, say, one thousand were oppressed you'd vote to ban it? What about the women who are already oppressed? Those are the people we need to think about.
ummmm, No they shouldn't, but while the burka remains acceptable to our society, we are in effect endorsing their abysmal treatment. If we want a fair and free society for all change has to happen.
