Ban The Burka in the UK

TWO-THIRDS of Brits want to follow the French and ban burkas.
A YouGov survey conducted for Five News found 67% wanted burkhas outlawed in public and more than three- quarters of those quizzed aged over 55 back the ban, according to the survey.
French MPs voted this week to outlaw the wearing of Islamic full-face veils in public. The law means women will be fined or jailed for hiding their faces and men who force their wives to do so will face tougher fines and up to a year behind bars. Spain and the Netherlands are considering similar laws.
The French ban was passed by an overwhelming 335 votes to one, and the majority of France's five million Muslim population supported the move.
Imam, Dr Taj Hargey, who runs a Muslim Centre in Oxford, also wants a ban.
He said: "They can wear any kind of black shroud, but their faces, if they enter the public domain, have to be exposed so that everyone can see who they are."

I think the burka should be allowed and respected. Personally, I think we could do with some of their values of modesty and western woman should learn from them. I see British women that drunk at weekends they cannot walk. Englishman.

@voyager4u The burka respected? Do you mean that you don't care whos behind it? Its worth noting that one of the 21/7 bombers hid behind his wifes burka to avoid detection. You seem to offended by british women who drink? They drink because its a personal choice something a muslim woman doesn't have. Take on some of their values? Make women 2nd class citizens sound good to you? If your a western women, think yourself lucky you live in a western democracy and not an oppressive regime.

@Sseeeeedus Exactly. If a western country can ban the islamic veil then why can't a muslim country ban the western clothing!? It's seems fair enough, right?
