Petition Action

Ban the Burka in the UK

Additional Information

This petition is to ban the Burka in the UK, just like our neighbor France has.

Wouldn't we all get in trouble from the law if we walked round with balaclava's on? Why should we tolerate people hiding their identity in our own country? This is not their religious right, as we do not implement Shia law in the UK. It IS our human right to feel safe and to know who passers-by look-like, in case anything where to happen.

How do we know men who are hiding their identity (which has been seen in airports)?

How do you know there are not any weapons under the Burka?

Do you feel safe?
