Belgium and the Burqa

I wonder how many extremist nutters will be threatening all sorts once the law is passed.
It's about time the Government over here grew some ***** and followed suit.

I think it's a bad thing. Whatever you think of the burqa, it's suppressing their right to wear something. Whatever that thing is really doesn't matter. Why not ban full face bike helmets?
Stopping people wearing them in airports, for instance, is one thing, but banning them full stop? That's a bad move.

Good move Belgium 
Hopefully countries are slowly learning that multiculturalism doesnt work, and they need people who want to settle in European countries to intergrate instead.

They do in shops. Bikers (and speaking as an ex biker) don't walk round wearing their crash lids. They are for wearing when riding their bikes in case you hadn't noticed, not a fashion/religious garment 
I understand it is suppressing their right to wear it however in this day and age where security and suspicion are at their highest and the fact that their religion does not demand it and is only a personal choice then it has to be understood it is not an acceptable thing to wear in a non Muslim country.
Obviously this is not an uncommon view with Belgium going ahead and banning it, France, who have a high Muslim population, in the throws of having the ban put in place and I think if there was a vote in the UK then it would be in favour of banning them too.
As discussed in other threads Muslims who are here from other countries need to integrate into society here and not demand the way of life they had be accepted in the UK. If they want to live as they did and it doesn't fit in here then there is an obvious solution.

They can wear what they like in the country they came from, it is no different from some jungle native walking around with his ***** hanging out, he turns up in the uk and gets forced to wear "normal" clothes, even though he has spent most of his life t-bagging every plant he can find.

If you're female and you go to a Muslim state wearing nothing but a Bikini, or a mini-skirt See how tolerant they are to allowing foreigners to wear traditional summer clothing.
They want us to obey their clothing culture, so what's the difference when they come here?

My point was suggetsing that those most likely to object should either get their own house in order, so to speak, or face being shown to be hypocrites.
I'd also like someone to point out to me why showing a bit of leg is a potential national security risk?

I actually agree with the Burkha ban as it will hopfully send a message that those who choose to come to live in Europe have to adapt to European culture which is perfectly possible while maintaining their religious beliefs. Anyone wether English in France or Pakistani in Bradford owes it to the place they moved to, to learn the lagnuage and respect the local culture.

I couldnt give a toss either way, but firmly believe that they/we follow the rules of the country they/we are in.

Would that be the really attractive tourist destination where 80 people were killed and over 200 injured by Islamic fanatasists in 2005? Oh, yeah, thought so .......
