Whilst I agree with your point about the Cortina and balaclavas, I think that in the current climate of fear etc people could use the aforementioned item of womens clothing to commit crime. Maybe in a way that will allow them to go unchallenged until it is too late for fear of being accused as islamophobic / racist etc.
I'll go back to lurking now...  |
i would agree with that statement ,a Burka can be used as a tool of the trade for some criminals ,the same as a balaclava,crash helmet or mask ,that does not mean it should be banned outright the same as crash helmets ,balclavas and masks haven't been outright, just in sensitive areas were face covering would be seen as suspicious behaviour .There are plenty of crimes commited with the criminal using a burka as a diguise because they know that ,that is what they can get away with at the moment
