This is just going around in circles now.

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

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 :)

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

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

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

That's a very good point papa smurf. I've edited my post.

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

yep in a free country it is perfectly acceptable to not show your face if you so wish

and i really cant see how showing it would make us safer anyway

see post #73

Why did they hide their identity?

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

I don't know, Gary - why don't you ask them?

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Because I can't work out who they are. they've hidden their faces.

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Is that acceptable?

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

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

Re: Ban the burkha ?

Other than what I've already said. I haven't really given it much thought.

Think you'll find that they are wearing PROTECTIVE clothing, this includes a boiler type suit, gloves, helmet, CLEAR face visor,protective boots, stab vest, possibly shin guards and other various padding, all clothing would be fire resistant which would also include a balaclava mask to protect the exposed parts of the face and neck when faced with petrol bombs and chemicals. 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.
