Voluntary removal under the right and correct system and in the RIGHT place..Say at the airport or banks or hospital or clinics..
But not a complete ban as Farage and Arthur are advocating.

Nigel Farage, has announced that UKIP, the main party in the EFD group, are calling for the traditional Muslim clothing, worn by women to be Banned. Going further than the far-right British National Party, who are accused of neo-fascist ideology and only wish to prohibit the wearing of the burqa in schools. UKIP are asking for the burqa, that covers the body and the nijab, or veil to be banned from public and private places.

MUSLIM women should be banned from wearing the burkha and other veils that cover their faces in *public, the UK *Independence Party said yesterday.
Nigel Farage, the party’s former leader, said the move would prevent extremists imposing their culture – including Sharia law – on Britain.

The latter quote really does imply it's a Muslim thing in particular..
