They're not required by their religion to wear one anyway so they wont have a problem not wearing one.

All religion is a bunch of Bulls*%t in my opinion, it starts wars and gives governments an excuse for starting wars and it lets people start bring their rasist cards out, " ooooo you want them to ban the Burkah, you must be a rasist then" I think the word Rasist should be banned, i'm getting fed up with people using it all the time.

Sorry wandered off a bit there

Maybe replace it with the word 'racist' instead?

Well some sections of the muslim faith say they are required to wear it.

It's like Christianity. There are some places in the UK where pretty much everything shuts down on the Sabbath and you would be shunned by neighbours if you dared to do DIY or hang out washing on a Sunday.

Thats what they believe but it isn't the same for other sections of Christianity.

It's OK - "rasist" doesn't need to be banned; it's not a real word.

btw, no one has said banning the burqa is racist - what a lot of people have stated that the law should be consistent, and not just focus on burqas, because applying a law to just one item of clothing worn by a certain group could be seen as disciminatory (which is completely different from being racist).

To show where you're mistaken (I didn't say you've "made up" anything) in your post about 'religion starts wars' would be to take this off topic so if....sorry when it comes up in the next religion bashing thread I'll address it then.

Re: Ban the burkha ?

The burkha will not be banned in this country. I'm 99.9999999999% certain

Reason? There's no reason for it to be banned.

Dunno this would seem to be a pretty compellling reason for any form of full-face covering to be outlawed.
