How about banning other forms of face covering like medical masks??

If liberty is what you want then no form of clothing ought to be banned, but every girl or woman living in a liberal state ought to be able to choose to wear one or not.

Banning the burqa would set a precedent that would empower the state to ban other forms of clothing. As the surveillance obsession continues people would start taking to wearing masks for the protection of privacy.
Wearing medical mask is not driven ideologically.
A person wearing a medical mask is not likely to object if asked to take it off by authorities and for face identification purposes.

However note the amount of hoo-hahs, emotions and resistance from Muslims when the burga is deliberated.
What is critical is to trace the wearing of the burga to an ideology that is laden with evil elements [evidence based].
This is the same with tracing the KKK-mask to its white supremacist ideology.

Another point is from evolutionary elements.

You had better check the big book on poltical correctness. The expers have spoken and woe be all who defy them

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/engl ... 165368.stm

A British Airways (BA) employee has lost her fight to openly wear a cross necklace at work at Heathrow.
Nadia Eweida, 55, of Twickenham, London, has been on unpaid leave since her bosses said she could not visibly wear her cross at the check-in counter.
This link does not support your assertion.
How does the story as told in the link not support his assertion? I mean, it looks like it does to me.
Where does it mention the burqu?
It's just about some stupid bitch breaking uniform policy by wearing jewelry.

So what?
A person wearing a medical mask is not likely to object if asked to take it off by authorities and for face identification purposes.
If not - why not?
Seems like a good way to hide your identity.

However note the amount of hoo-hahs, emotions and resistance from Muslims when the burga is deliberated.
I'd not noticed any. You must be watching Fox News. LOL

Why don't you read what I wrote, and deal with that.

There are many idiots on this forum - don't join them

Fair enough. It does not mention Burqa. It mentions Hijab but I understand that's different from a Burqa.

Do you think a Muslim woman working at the airport should be allowed to wear her Burqa while at work but a Christian woman should have to hide her cross under clothing? Or what would be your take on something like that?
