This thread is full of arguments for and against the burka I think there is a solution the government should make law.
A Bill should be introduced into Parliament to ban "all face coverings" everything and everything.
helmets, balaclavas, burkas etc....
Fines should be like this:
1st offence - warning
2nd offence - $500
3rd offence $1000
4th offence $10,000 + 1 month jail
If it is banned for everyone it is fair no one can say it is discrimination.
That wouldn't be fair. People wear balaclavas to work in cold spaces.
Brides sometimes like to cover their face before some point in the ceremony.
Bike riders like full face helmets so they don't munch insects or get them up their nostrils.
I can't see any good reason for such huge dramas over a couple of hundred burqa wearing women. It doesn't seem like an honest non racist argument to me. It has people who have never seen anyone wearing a burqa feeling afraid and imagining that they are taking over our cities, therefore our country. I think friendly dialogue is more likely to successfully lead to change than outlawing the garments. The garments don't hurt anyone.
