Oh it's the same thing then.

The reason I'm boiling over is that the politician here wanted the burqa removed because he said that was a security issue. Burqa can hide one's identity and they can rob a bank. He reasoned that bike helmets had to be removed in a bank so therefore burqa should be removed.

I'm pissed because:
1. No person needs to wear a bike helmet in a bank, so they SHOULD be removed.
2. Burqa (veil) isn't about fashion - you don't just take it off when it suits you. When he can evidence that women wearing burqa are really a threat in a chain of bank robberies, then we may have something to talk about.

Right now, the people that rob banks wear hoodies (hooded sweatshirts). Maybe we should ban those too. *sarcastic*

You ban burqas and you are making criminals out of people that have done nothing wrong. Please note that wrong and illegal are 2 different things. Just because you don't want to wear one doesn't mean that others don't. Why can't human beings be entitled to a little privacy and personal freedom. These women have done nothing wrong.

How would you feel if one day what you where every day became illegal. Would you burn your beliefs because someone told you they were old fashioned?
