I don't agree with them because of the security issue either a good point and one i have made myself ,but i draw the line at a ban as the french have done because it would also mean that half the clothes teenagers wear would be banned as well because under that hoody it could be anyone ,or behind that scarf on cold day it could be anyone ,or ...i could go on but i'm sure you get the point .You can't just ban clothing because Muslims wear them ,and like it or not,correct or incorrect that is how you appear

I did post some links earlier in the thread to highlight the security issue ,banks ,post offices ,airports ect but in my opinion that threat should be dealt the same as helmets ect, as although there is an issue with potential robbers using burkas to hide their appearance the threat is no greater from someone using a helmet to commit a crime
