    Default UKIP to call for a ban on wearing a burka.

    The UK Independence Party is considering a call to ban the wearing of burkas, it has been reported.

    Wow... what are your thoughts on this? Even the far-right BNP only wish for them to be banned from schools. Personally I disagree with it, I don't believe anyone has the power to dictate who wears what, especially to do with their belief. However, I do believe that in certain circumstances, it is unpractical for certain religios garments to be worn, but in general I do not believe they should be banned.

    Having read what the UKIP leader had to say, I get the point behind it about not wearing them in airports, as they're right they could danger security. It really depends how far they intend to go with this, if they intend for them to be banned everywhere, being in the streets/shops and things, well thats just dictatorial and wrong. It's a persons choice what they wear, and if you are going to ban burkas then you need to ban hoodies too because they're even worse as they serve no religious purpose whatsoever.

    yeah i agree with that. it's about getting the balance right between respecting their beliefs and keeping our country a british country, with british beliefs running the country.

    I'm split on it, I agree fully with the airport security factor that Lord Pearson mentioned and thats totally right but at the same time I think banning them everywhere could be possibly too far. That said, most of the women who wear these things don't wear them by choice and apparently the Koran also doesn't say women have to wear them.

    I'd say put it to a referendum like Switzerland did on mosques.

    Referendum again huh? Not everything should be put down to a referendum you know. Alot of people are going to vote to ban them purely because they are racist and misunderstand why muslims wear them. It's not exactly the right thing to do.

    Yes a referendum and why? - because it is this country, not the politicians who should have the right to govern. On banning the burka, i'm afraid the majority of people are not racist Tash so do not make out that they are. The majority of people in this country, like myself, want equality for everyone but not over-equality as we have seen. There is nothing to mis-understand on why muslims wear these, they are a sign of the oppression of women/radical islam which is not welcome in Britain so again, do not claim the British public are too stupid to work these things out.

    "I can't go into a bank with a motorcycle helmet on. I can't wear a balaclava going round the District and Circle line." - Nigel Farage

    This is exactly what it is all about, its one rule for us and one rule for them. It should be one rule for everybody when it comes to an issue such as this. As shown above, this issue can never be debated properly because as soon as it is the words racist are brought into the subject it paints ordinary, none racists such as myself, UKIP and the majority of the public as racist when we are just not.
