There are a lot of British people in places like Egypt and Dubai, what would you say if they banned anything but the burga?

Well British people shouldn't complain when it's not their country that they're in. When Brits are abroad they should follow what that country belives in, the same should apply for foreigners here.

People should be allowed to wear what they want, we can't restrict people displaying their religious identity, people should be allowed to wear what they like, Muslims should be able to wear their headwear and Catholics should be able to wear their Crucifix.

Banning displays of Religious identity is like telling a football supporter they can't wear their teams shirt in public.

In some places you can't wear your teams shirt.. In some parts of Glasgow you wouldn't dare wear a Rangers shirt in a Celtic area or vice versa. I wouldn't want someone wearing a burqa walking towards me, it's creepy. You wouldn't be allowed to wear a balaclava that only shows your eyes in public, so you shouldn't be allowed to wear a burqa.

[Hecktix]

Yes but surely someone wearing a balaclava is suspicious, as one of the main things people associate with balaclavas is someone covering themselves up so they can't be seen when committing a crime.

Whereas if you see a woman in a burqa coming towards you, you should just simply think it's a harmless muslim woman with the utmost respect for her Religion.

I know it can appear intimidating but if you think about it rationally, it's only a strictly religious woman underneath it, think of it as a Muslim version of Dot Cotton or Edna Birch.

We need to be accepting of different cultures.

[Tash.]

I'm really not understanding this. Some people are petrified of women in a bhurka, fair enough if you are you are. But yet these very same people are not at all intimidated by a youth in a hoody.. I know who i'd be more scared of and I can tell you it is not the woman wearing her religious clothing. It's beyond stupidity, it's plain ignorance.

In reply to Caution, perhaps you wouldn't dare wear your Rangers shirt in a Celtic area, well fair enough then, don't. But why should someone have to stop wearing a bhurka in the street just because some people are too narrow minded to understand the reasons behind it? It angers me no end. Leave others alone.

You can't wear motorbike helmets in most shops and some buildings, in these areas I think all types of headgear should be removed, but nowhere else.
