17 Answers
shop at your corner shop, your local supermarket or any retailers if you were served by somebody wearing a Burkha?
The reason I asked was on BBC1 Q time tonight it was suggested that it would be OK for Muslim women to wear them in public in the UK, as long as they would show their face if asked for security?
I personally would not shop at any business if i couldn't see the persons face I was handing my money too!

The goods they are handing over are the same no matter what the shop assistant looks like. Better someone wearing a burkha who is clean and neat, rather than some scabby person on the deli counter with filthy finger nails who blows their nose before handling the food

of course I would trt - and like 237SJ, I had to cover when I went to Saudi Arabia. ALL women have to cover there, it's the law for Muslims and non-Muslims, but it's up to you whether you just wear normal hijab (long coverall and headscarf is most appropriate) or wear the burka or niqab which actually cover your face. Many residents wore niqab so kept their eyes on view, but others covered completely when out of the house. It's the norm - the women I met just did it without thinking about it, a bit like we put on our raincoat to go out. Women are wearing ordinary clothes under the outer covering, some had very posh clothes and beautiful hairdos too.
It makes no odds to me whether I can see the whole face of the person I am giving the money to - it's another woman, not a Martian. Where however there is a question of security (and as we have discussed many times before, in a bank or at the airport) then the face should be shown.
