Now if only they could ban religion all together
edit: optimistic?
Well, as long as they're not strapping bombs to their heads, I don't understand the ban.
I don't like the idea behind a Burqa anyway, it serves only to be derogatory in my mind. Banning one's beliefs however, especially when it's a worldy accepted belief is a little extreme.

It's not really ignorance, it's more of not really giving shit.
I feel the ban itself is stomping on religous expression, but I feel women being forced to wear them to begin with wrong.

I have to agree with you, but it aparantly does have some health effects due to the fact that your skin makes Vitamin D using sunlight and these ladies cover themselves up, often completely and are therefore not getting enough Vitamin D.
It isn't exactly fundamental to their religion, it's not like they're banning the Koran, just some retarded misogynistic 'tradition'.
The burqa is retarded, ban it.
Women are not forced to wear burqas. Someone always brings that up. That's why you see women themselves protesting in the streets.
Burqa is a sign of female opression.
They should and will be banned.
Wearing a hockey mask or balaclava (hood with only the eyes and mouth visible) is also forbidden here unless you have a good reason to wear them.
Netherlands btw.

Yes they are forced.
In muslim country's they may even legaly be beaten if they ever go outside without one without their man's permission.
Oppressing the oppression. Interesting.
I can see why you'd want to have clothing that covers you up banned in areas that require higher security but that's the only case I would consider. Banning just burqas is just xenophobic.

Because the names of the justices are really important information that we should give a shit about?
Women are not forced to wear a burqa. Saying otherwise is a myth that needs to die.

Next time someone says they are forced to wear it, punch him in the face.
Ban it, you can't see burqa-wearer's faces, so you don't know who you are REALLY talking to. In addition to that, normally you are not allowed to enter a bank or a gas station with a helmet because you can't see their faces, I don't know what happens to burqua-wearers in those cases. Also they should be banned for driving, because you can't see shit.
If they don't like our rules they can go back to the desert

Wrong.

hope they do
and kill anyone who breaks the law by ripping their brains out and feeding it to their familys
I think they mean in Afghanistan and most Arabic/Muslim countries it is the law, however in a more western society, they aren't.
If it isn't forced, then there should be no reason to ban it.

How is banning them different from forcing them to wear them?

Suppressing the oppression sounds more accurate.

hahaha indeed we all know that most burqa wearers are not real Muslims but imposters that want an excusable ski-mask for their robberies.
Also lol at anyone who thinks all women in burqas feel they are trapped within oppressive Muslim society, desperately looking for escape, especially when in these countries that are considering bans they can remove them at any time with no legal consequences.
You're not allowed to wear hoods and helmets in alot of places, religion deserves no special treatment. Ban.

Well, there was one atheist state (Not the USSR) and it was a total fail. Didn't last more than a few decades.
Rate me dumb, doesn't change shit.
