Ban the burka?
France is stepping closer to banning the burka…Do you want your country to follow suit?
I wouldn’t want the UK to ban the burka. I disagree with it, but I wouldn’t ban it. However, it would be obligatory to show your face to officials at the airport. Religion or not, it needs to be done. If body scans are okay, then showing your face should be mandatory too. If you don’t like it, you don’t travel.
This anger against Muslims has been building up for a while now. Certain cases, like a Muslim man who refused to sell alcohol at the supermarket, do reflect badly on the rest of the Muslim community. Then the fury over the Muhammad cartoons, even though Jesus has been mocked in cartoons over the years, like on South Park, went too far. I understand that they wanted to stand up for themselves, but burning buildings and trying to kill people is too much.
As usual, religion creates more and more divisions.
