It will be unconstitutional not to ban burqa, just like the USA find it constitutional to ban KKK hoods covering the face so is the burqa.
We then o to the next step, x-ray, body pat down, and raiding terrorist hide outs. That us why you need not be paranoid because our security is at work.
Wrong. Burqas are religious expression, and it is unconstitutional for the government to violate a citizen's free expression of their religion.
How did race get into this ? Now, Islamapologists are running to the race card even when race is not involved. Nothing surprises me anymore.
One of those guys who simply can't get over: 1. Getting his ass whipped in the American revolution... and 2. UK being replaced as the world's top economic power, by the USA. Hey, limey. Remember WWII ? The Marshall Plan (which UK got $3.3 Billion-a lot more than any other country) YOU'RE WELCOME, oh ungrateful brat.
Wrong. Burquas are not religious expressions for 2 main reasons. 1. Islamic religion is the Koran, and there's nothing in the vile book about burquas. 2. Even if it were in the Koran, it still wouldn't be a religious matter, because Islam is not a religion. It is a political ideology masquerading as a religion, (to give it the kind of shield you are describing).
Actually, race does have to do with it, considering burqas are cultural dress and most Islamophobes think all Muslims are Middle Eastern.
Sorry, but that's your (very ignorant) opinion. Besides, even IF it's political, it's still protected under the First Amendment.
1. There is no such thing as an Islamaphobe. 2. I know many protectionists. None of them think all Muslims are Middle Eastern, and "Middle Eastern" is not a race either. 3. Culture and race are two different things.
Nor only is it NOT protected under the first amendment, but as a security guard I personally stopped 2 Muslim women from entering a high security manufacturing building wearing niqabs (face coverings). Since I couldn't ID them with their photo ID badge, they couldn't be allowed in. They threw a tantrum and blocked the entrance/exit doors along with their 2 male companions. I called the police, and they told the police I had grabbed them. I showed the police the video of the incident, and all 4 of them were arrested for creating a disturbance and filing a false police report. There are lots of exceptions to the first amendment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niqāb Islam not a religion is not just my opinion. It is the opinion of millions of people around the world, and billions over the past 1400 years.

It's legal federally to wear the KKK hood, but in some Southern municipalities it is banned, along with any other type of mask. Which means in these cities that Halloween is illegal. And a city with no Halloween is a city I don't want to be in.
I'd rather be in a city without halloween, than one with dozens of armed robberies by crooks hiding behind halloween masks. Maybe there should be an age limitation for halloween masks (nobody over 12). Halloween is a kid thing.
Islam doesn't believe in a deity, prophets, the supernatural at all. Is this a correct statement? Islam = religion Islamism = political Islam.
Uh...no, actually, it's pointing out that an action is illegal under US law. It's like saying "murder is illegal" is an AtAF.
In your example, it was not the niqab that was illegal. It was how they behaved and that it is illegal to enter high security buildings without proper identification. You cannot, for example, prevent a woman from wearing a niqab or burqa to the mall or walking down the street, any more than you can ban wearing fedoras. So, if billions decided that Christianity wasn't a religion, you'd agree?
Yes, there is. Someone who irrationally fears or hates Islam is an Islamophobe. The hell is a "protectionist?" Yes, but they are intertwined.
More utter tosh. So every woman wearing a loose fitting dress will be x-rayed or patted down as she walks into her local mall, supermarket or cinema. How ridiculous!
It is not a religious expression, leading Muslim authorities have public declare it is not part of Islam, it is an expression of Islamic extremism. The government duty is to preserve national security and the burqa is part of Islamic extremism just like the KKK hoods that are ban and consider criminal for ANYONE to walk around in public all hooded the only exemption is Halloween night.
It has more to do with ethnicity than race. Burqa is NOT a symbol of Islam, it is only one of many forms of national dress. Malayasian and Indonesian Muslim women don't wear burqas but cover their hair with a scarf, as do Thai Muslim women.
You are losing your argument with every post you make. Define "anyone that is considered (grammar corrected) a threat". Does that include ALL women in loose fitting dresses? What about Nordic looking women in loose fitting dresses, are they considered a threat also?
Anyone that will hide bombs, guns and other weapons under their clothing men or women, and burqas are a very good means to hide those weapons not only can they hide weapons they can also be use to hide their identity, I guess you don't know or too ignorant to understand what is security and that is because your government is doing a good job of keeping you safe.
