When will the U.K. government ban the wearing of burqas in public?

Question

This is a christian nation, if Muslims are going to intergrate as the government (and the BBC) think they have, the wearing of any face covering by by Islamic women must be outlawed.

Answer 1

All you left wing scumbags should be taken out and shot at Dawn as traitors would have been in the great wars!
The burqa should be banned in all public places...
No Question About It!
Muslim women are wearing the burqa in places where they know it is likely to be controversial, then they have the nerve to complain when they get an adverse response or publicity.
The poor abused picked on muslim story is all Old News.

The truth of it is that tomorrow we could all get a burqa. You dont have to be a muslim to wear one. Then we can all be anonymous, what can people say about that?

Answer 2

I agree with Jo Diva & Bee Ha. The rest of the answers were from racists as far as I could understand.

This isnt a christian country anymore, more muslims go to the mosque on Fridays than our people go to church on Sunday's.
I think the Muslim population of our country is getting a raw deal at the moment due to a minority of radicals. The majority of Muslims are law-abiding citizens, but are now feeling very threatened, which is not surprising as everytime you pick up a newspaper or turn on the T.V all we hear about is Muslims. I am getting fed up with it, so I can only imagine how bad they must be feeling at the moment. I think as a nation, we have always supported the underdog so to speak (this expression is not to be taken litrally). The poor Muslims are definiatey the underdogs at the moment, and we should all seek to make an effort to repair relations with each other. By uniting we can all fight to defeat terrorism (united we stand, devided we fall) and work towards making a real intergrated and happy country. As for the vail, I feel this is freedom of choice, but maybe women wanting to wear the vail should accept that there are certain occupations they will not be able to do. Can you imagine a vailed doctor working in a hospital leaning over a patient just coming out of a coma. The person would think the Angel Of Death is about to take them. I hope any vailed muslim reading this, will understand the example I have just given as even though a little tongue in cheek, but never the less as quite a serious concern.

They do debate it, there became a communicate on the radio final nighttime approximately this difficulty which in touch politicians and a few Tory MP presented a sort of backbench action thingimybobs the different day. in all threat as they're approximately to decrease the police service they do no longer look to be keen on having a stretched police rigidity having to enforce dress codes on human beings. what's so British approximately telling human beings what they're allowed to placed on? we could pass all Iranian and characteristic outfits police harrassing human beings in the line however the government has neither the money or inclination to do this and as for 2-thirds of persons needing it banned, no-one asked me what i think of approximately that so that's a sort of extrapolations and it relatively is remarkable that each and every political occasion that has a coverage of banning Islamic dress did no longer get any seats in the election so interestingly human beings are not that stricken approximately it. in the event that they ban burkhas i'm procuring one. further - that's a stable factor that parliament does not debate concerns of interest to the broader public. I even have an theory that i heard it became to be a sparkling coverage that the time-honored public would have the potential to indicate issues for parliament to communicate yet i wasn't paying interest. it relatively is no longer in effortless terms burkha bans that fall below that heading nonetheless - fairly some human beings choose the dying penalty back, so some distance as i comprehend the final time that they had a vote on it became while Thatcher became PM. yet another extensive proportion of the time-honored public choose some or all drugs legalised, they never debate that for the duration of parliament. that's the version between a representative democracy and an on the spot democracy i assume.

Answer 4

Ah, Good question, as much as I'd like to see a ban enforced there won't be one because :- The top political parties now know that our foreign policies, the war in Iraq & Afghanistan amongst other things have upset the muslim communities, so in order to reclaim the muslim votes they will use the softly, softly approch like Gordon Brown trying to change our freedom of speech laws after Nick Griffin's triumph in court the other week, David Camaron, have you heard his comments since the Dutch banned the Burkha. It's about time this country elected somebody with some BALLS who wants their country back. Tony Blairs Goverment have only just managed to scrape into power the past 2 elections by the asian vote, it'll proberbly be more power to the muslims untill the next elections, than after that who knows i dread to think.

Answer 5

The bit I'd like to know is when you walk into a bank there is normally a sign on the door stating that crash helmets must be removed. This is for security reasons. Will this now include the full face coverings worn by some women on the same grounds.

After all women are equally capable of being bank robbers as men. It will be interesting to see if this is attempted by any of the banks.

Answer 6

FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL, THE BURQA IS NOT A RELIGIOUS GARMENT, AND IS NOT MENTIONED IN THE KORAN AS SUCH. It is a RELIC of Bedouin dress that the nomads wore in the desert. These people are using it as a cultural statement and do not want to integrate with our society. We should ban the wearing of this garment in our society as they are not in the desert here and it is alien to our culture and security. Therefore the government should have the guts to ban it from public but let them wear it in private.

Answer 7

The problem with our country is simply this - We are not "Extreme" and everyone else is. We need to get the new world order and get "Extreme" to stay how we like it, not how they want it to be. We need to have Religious Police to Beat down anything different than us. We need imprisonment for anyone insulting our culture etc. IT WORKS FOR MUSLIM COUNTRY'S! so why not us?

Is the above an answer for us? or can we find some sensible common ground, that keeps everyone happy and Extremism of ALL types Down!

Answer 8

You are being racist here, good buddy. NOBODY should be allowed in a public place with their face covered. Lakeside bans hoodies and baseball caps and they are just a shopping centre. Muslim women are using the face-cloth as a passive terrorism tool. We used to have something similar in ireland at one time. We called it the "Hit me Now with the child in me Arms" syndrome. WHEN IN ROME DO AS ROME DOES and if you want to dress like that there are countries which will take you in.

Answer 9

I think EVERYONE should start wearing burkas, and thus showing the silly muslims how unnecessary such a garment is, which in its ideology is merely a hypocricy.

Women wear them and think that they can keep their "sanctity" inside the folds of the clothing as long as they don't do anything untoward. After all, to them, life is just a way to heaven. The muslim community needs to address this issue. After all, being "good" certainly involves more than being inactive and being properly clothed.

Answer 10

Personally I don't like the burqas but what I do recognise is their right to wear whatever they like.

Change your comment and say: When will the U.K. government ban the wearing of mini-skirts in public?
Would you stand for that?

As soon as a government starts regulating what people wear it is heading down a very nasty road indeed. Next thing you know certain members of the population will be wearing signs on their chests.

There are better ways of dealing with this than prejudice and fascism .
