Burqa...

[has]

I visited Harrods today & whilst there, I saw a person wearing a full face burqa, including the covering of eyes.
According to the website of 'True Islam' one of the extremes of burqa is the Afghan burqa, which was enforced by the Taliban. This burqa covers the entire body in loose clothing with the face (including eyes) being covered with only a grille for the women to look through.

This I foundnd very extreme & I was surprised that a department store like Harrods allows such a thing.
Why does this not fall within the same 'guidelines' as wearing a crash helmet? I'm sure you're not allowed to enter the store wearing a crash helmet?

i thought the crash helmet thing was only for banks?

I'm pretty sure that these things fall within individual store policy to decide.

I'd imagine that most of these stores judge that their risk of being robbed by burqa clad theives is less than their potential loss of revenue by banning them.

Simple commercial risk benefit calculation
