I think the argument is whether it's a religious requirement or just a personal choice to hide your face.
we determined that a 'hoody' wasn't anything at all to do with religion but just a personal choice from the 'Chav' culture to hide their face. we even determined that smoking was not religious, just bad for everyones health :)

i think the question is -is it acceptable to hide your face in public places .

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 
Why did they hide their identity?

Hugh 19-01-2010 18:41

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 
I don't know, Gary - why don't you ask them?

Gary L 19-01-2010 19:00

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 
Because I can't work out who they are. they've hidden their faces.

Hugh 19-01-2010 19:05

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 
Is that acceptable?

Gary L 19-01-2010 19:10

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 
Err, isn't that what we're trying to determine already? :rolleyes:

Hugh 19-01-2010 19:13

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 
What is your viewpoint on it?

Not to hide there identity's.

Oh and it would keep you nice and warm on a winters day.

Try doing this when having just a shield and bog standard issue clothing and i think you would opt for the wardrobe these guys are wearing.
