Re: Ban the burkha ?
As previously mentioned, very simply, the burka is not a requirement to the practise of Islam, it's a cultural addition, largely from the Middle East. Women are required to dress 'modestly' - this does not equate to a requirement to cover the face, this is purely cultural, notice that it is almost universally isolated to a few countries.
Polygamy is, however, expressly mentioned in the Qur'an, do we allow that?
It's very simple, where exposed faces are required and balaclavas are banned this applies to everyone. There is no religious objection it is purely a cultural one, and one that has no place dictating to ours.
