Not really, I mean maybe it could be a security threat but anywhere in England that needs tight security already has x-ray scanners and sniffing dogs so there's no threat that a burka could actually pose

What's controversial about it? Simple 'no'...

in my opinion the pros and cons are:
Cons: liberates women from visual judgement
allows women to express their religious views in public
a ban would isolate people that do wear it
a ban would affect woman rights because a moment should be able to wear what she wants
a ban would offend many people across muslim communities in the uk
Pros: allows social participation
prevents women being forced to wear it which is very much the case in some cases
no more undermining of identity and face covering is not required in islam
there have been cases where suicide bombers have used the burqa to conceal their identity

apologies if it has been discussed i just wanted to know what peoples views are

having said that my personal opinion is that women have the right to wear what they like and express their religious views in which ever form they like

I am Muslim and believe women should be allowed to guard their modesty with the Burqa.

There is nothing "modest" about wearing a burqa in Europe. You stick out like a sore thumb and it is jarring to the vast majority of non-muslims.

thats your own opinion but that shouldn't change the right a woman should have to wear one should it?

Muslims should ask for its ban. It would show that they don't want to be associated with extremists.

While I disagree with what I personally believe is the ideology behind the burqa - oppression of women - the UK is a free country and people should be able to wear what they choose. I respect that many muslim women do not see it in the way I do and they choose to wear it.
