Should Australia ban the burqa?

[FLEKTARN]

Yes.

Bulgaria, Ireland, Denmark, Latvia banned the burka.

We don't need no more Ninjas. This is the West, not a Zoo.

For security purposes, I don't believe facial coverings should be worn in public areas.
If I walked into a bank wearing a balaclava, I'd be escorted out of the building.

The only exception to the facial covering rule should be burn victims who require compression garments.

It's a security issue, not a cultural issue.

I was once told to remove my helmet when I went into a garage to pay for my petrol.

The twisted thing was, the prick behind the counter was a muzzo.

I asked him if he wanted the money or not, and that if I took off my helmet, it woukd immediately be inserted into his anus with great force.

He started going on about security and such, I waved the money at the camera , threw it at him and walked out.

Stupid cult of death.

I'm sorry about that experience.

And by the way you can hide a bomb there:

So, a Sikh is a Muslim in your view, Flektarn? Oh, dearie, dearie, me. Tsk, tsk...

[FLEKTARN]

I said it a thousand times and I shall say again: I don't care if you're a Muslim, or a Christian. The norms are for EVERYONE. You don't like it? Get out. When in Rome, you need to do as the Romans do. No special treatment. Because every group of people starts asking for something, where does it end up?

What if someone tomorrow demands they want to wear firefighter helmets when going to school or to the dentist?

They are given unbridled freedom to practice their religion in the way they choose. They can do it home, privately. Don't try and throw your "religious" and racist views into the ring and try to get the law changed for your own selfish reasons. The law is the law equally for every person.

Keep damning yourself. Sikhs are good, honest people for the overwhelming most part and have absolutely nothing to with Islam. Their turban wearing is part of their religious beliefs. I take it you're not circumcised? Afterall, that is a Jewish tradition adopted by many Christians. Cultures change and adapt. You seem to think simply worshipping a different God makes a person a bad citizen. It doesn't, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists are all good citizens.

Take a big deep breath, Brian. NO-ONE said Sikhs were bad. It was merely stated that a bomb could also be hidden in the head gear. Which is true.

Why use a picture of a Sikh? I suspect Flektarn doesn't know the difference between a Sikh and a Muslim. Tut, tut, don't worry, he'll condemn anybody who looks different, acts different, dresses different, worships differently to him.

Anyone can cut their own private parts as long as they're not publicly advocating it or taking photos and posting it online.

And, quote me where I said "Sikhism is Islam".

Also I can see you say "Their turban wearing is part of their religious beliefs." Isn't the Burka part of the Islamist religious beliefs, or is it not? They wear it for fun or what?
