[redvanman]

Very good idea to ban the burqa it is a insult and disrespect full to this country

it's not necessary to wear it in the home, if it's only the husband, children there. If there are unfamiliar males in the house then one would perhaps cover up. I don't get it at all, haven't we got past all this stuff on women and their role in society, i am uncomfortable with it, veiled women in Britain was a Victorian idea for middle to upper class ladies, and look how hypocritical they were.

mushroom someone else posted that link, i think the point being made now it's become more a political stance than a religious or cultural one.

[doctordb]

I would follow the French model and have a ban on any face covering in public.

[emmie]

doctorb, it's been banned but they won't be able to enforce it.

As a matter of interest, how does this discussion sit with the targetting and abuse of white adolescent girls by Pakistani men? Capiche, we aren't meant to say that this is happening but fact is that it is, and one of the strands of evidence relied on in defence of the perp's is that these are impure women who are asking for it. You can tell they are impure as they are not veiled. Wander ye down to Brierfield main shopping street and walk about a bit before you deal your swift and merciless justice unto me.

not just white girls, sikh girls and indeed young muslim girls.
