As I said, I can see the argument against allowing burqas in schools or in an airport, thats a different matter, but if a woman is just walking down the street in a burqa or going shopping in one then they should have the right to do so. They should not be banned from wearing it just because you personally consider anyone in a veil to be a possible terror threat.

It is - in relation to security - and security is what the thread is about! Even my 13 year old can see that a full-facial burka poses a security threat in places such as schools, universities, airports, banks etc and should not be allowed! Any item of clothing that covers the face is not acceptable!
