Oh please. Love it or leave it, huh? Great reasoning for excusing violating basic rights to wear what one wants.It is akin to making them walk around in the raw. That's the point. By making it law and having an open door policy they are quite free to migrate somewhere else.
And if I don't, I'm arrested. As should any person who refuses to remove anything that prohibits identification. So where is the issue?I police officer can ask you to remove your glasses, hat scarf etc and you will.
It's a non-issue for the burka too.If the attitude to those particular items changed then a law may be required to ban them too. But thus far it is not an issue hence no law.
I don't care one iota about any religious beliefs since they are not the issue.And BTW, it is the same law for everyone. Non muslim women can't wear a burka either.
The issue is that if I want to wear a ****ing veil, then I should be able to wear a ****ing veil. It's absolutely ridiculous to ban a piece of fabric. It's especially ridiculous to ban a piece of fabric on the ludicrous grounds that it "makes it difficult to identify people" when countless other things do the same damn thing. It's also ridiculous to use such an argument when it's already required for me to remove coverings if I am questioned by the police.
It was, and is, a non-issue and all this law does is trample on the rights of anyone who wishes to wear a veil.
