Noone has a right to see my face, it's mine, if i want to show it, i will, if not then i won't... same with my ding dong, it's mine and i'll put it on display when i choose not when someone feels they can obligate me into doing so..

Let's just assume anyone not showing their face must have something to hide, yeah great, what a wonderful and friendly society we have... assuming something is bad if it can be misused.

If i took a paper plate, cut two eyes holes in it (used it as a mask), commited a string of robberies, would you then propose that we ban paper plates? ... it did after all act as a tool to hide my identity... i mean come on people!!, anything can be used as a tool to aid in crime... heck i could use a spoon for crime if i really wanted to, or even a toilet roll.... (admittedly i would have to be very creative to use them given things in a crime, but i'm sure you get my point)...

Maggy seems to the closest to any kind of sensible rationale on this topic.

So ban the burka? No. Do i agree with that religion? No, but if they want to cover themselves up, it's fine by me, so ban ... No.

I'll tell you all two very good reason's why I am opposed to the Burkha, and its from personal experience....

The first year I worked as a PMC, we had an ex-Republican Guard as our call sign's fixer. He found the body of a woman dumped near where our Principle was inspecting some work he was contracted to look after. The fixer told me that the dead woman had in all likelihood been tried, and executed for wearing jeans instead of traditional islamic clothing. The reason he was able to come to that conclusion, was the single gunshot wound in her groin. It seems this was a favourite way for the faithful to punish immoral women within their own lawless communities. Something to do with the slow agonizing death that this sort of wound gives.... I stopped counting after driving past, or standing over 43 women who had all been full-stopped in the same way.....

The second year I was working as a PMC, I happened to be within 70 meters of female suicide bomber. She not only killed herself, but if memory serves, about 12 to 15 civilians, plus another 30 odd wounded. Yes, a woman in full tent dress, turning herself and others into porno spaghetti, human rain is a rather memorable occasion.... This may also explain why I'm always edgy while sitting around Heathrow waiting for a connecting flight. Too many women in full islamic dress. Makes me want to sit with my back to the structural pillars, at least that way you have some cover....
