Why isn't the Burka banned?

Tell me the last time a terrorist attack happened with the perpetrator wearing a burka.

ok, i think we both know that's extreme and a serious exaggeration.

Also they could so easily rob a bank and no-one will know their identity or how to trace who they are when the minute they step out their door they are wearing an Islamic balaclava!

in your opinion maybe, as someone who's had ancestors killed due to religious violence, it's common sense

first of all, your view is therefore extremely biased. second of all only a minuscule amount of religious people are violent as you say.

or perhaps you're ignorant to the problem. only a tiny number of neo nazis would kill me in public too, doesn't mean I'm any better seeing the swastika on someones arm

Why should they? If I walk around with a swastika people would look at me with disgust. Religions are ideologies that have caused a hell of a lot of death and misery too, should be treated in the same light.

its quite hilarious and worrying that you think all religion is neo-Nazism.

it's hilarious that you're deliberately misrepresenting my stance.

of course if they're genuine that's fine, but what's to stop a terrorist to wear a burka, just appearing as a normal Muslim, no one would suspect anything and then commit a horrible crime and no one would know?

What's to stop anyone wearing them, regardless of religious belief? You can buy them online you know. All this hyperfocusing on Muslims, who are just human beings like the rest of us at the end of the day, has to stop.

exactly!

Crimes are committed by human beings. Religion is often used as an excuse, but it's people really. ☺️

That last part was hilarious. Probably because it's true.

And in most cases they tend to be quite chubby as well!

What's to stop a terrorist from posing as any type of civilian, even one without a burka... Like normal clothing... Oh wait... They do.

Honestly this whole argument seems biased against something people clearly don't understand. I'm not even religious and even I can understand if it's something they want to wear then they can as long as they don't cause people harm. Honestly who cares.

Let's look at it this way for perspective. A lot of teenagers wear hoodies. Not all, but a good amount. Now it is a common stereotype that "All hooded teenagers are up to something. Maybe they're dealing drugs or going to attack someone". When in reality a lot of teenagers just want to wear a hoodie as they feel more comfortable in it but they're being attacked by verbal prejudice (most times unknowingly) because of a small minority of teenagers that caused issue which then the media picked up on and spiked fear into.

Stop looking at everything with a norrow view point and look at the bigger picture. No one has ever got personally insulted or attacked by someone simply wearing clothing round their head.

The world is already full of prejudice and discrimination. I was hoping out generation could put a stop to that since no one else is. Seems that's not gunna happen when there are articles like this showing otherwise.

Finally, someone talking logically
