Re: Ban the burkha ?

[QUOTE=foreverwar;35007910]Things that are anti-social that aren't banned -
Many things are anti social but my definition at that point was merely one of interaction on social occasions even standing next to a stranger in a checkout queue and politely chatting. I live in an Asian area with many temples and mosques and continually chat and joke with women in burkhas but the full veil hides facial expressions. If it was essential I could understand but the purpose seems to be to stop the gaze of other males.
No I would not like to be part of a society that chops off the hands of thieves or stones adulterers. I do consider myself lucky to be born in this country. Maybe our our tolerance is just being tested.
