BUT what we have to realise is that, this country has been hit badly by terrosism attacks and therefore out safety is paramount, and therefore l believe that Burkas should be banned in this country.
When the female has her photo taken for a passport, she has to have the burka taken off, so why can't she do it in the full view of the public, or does she have a photo taken with the burka on.

There isn't a ban, there has been a French vote in the lower house in favour of a ban, but it won't become law unless ratified by the Senate.
Even if a law is passed it will be applicable only in France.
In respect of 'offending the females' the putative legislation proposes that the veil is a violation of their rights & seeks to free them from male influence on when it is worn.
Regarding the last paragraph quoted above, perhaps you can enlighten us as to the facts, rather than a mix of conjecture & questions?
I'm all in favour of freeing these women from the obligation to wear a veil if they don't want to, in practice if a law is passed in France it may simply result in them not being allowed out in public?
