It just shows how correct French President Sarkozy is in wanting to have the burqa banned. It has everything wrong with the concept and nothing correct - it is only a historic excuse and not Qur'anic.
Mind you, we have to give this crim a point for cleverness - but now you will get copy-cats - from all walks of society.
No one should be allowed to go about in public with their face covered as a matter of course. This is the way of bandits. This is why we have banned such in the West for hundreds of years.
At least the police have provided numbers where they can be contacted. I suggest that if you see someone in a Burqka then call the police so that they can brought in for questioning.
Muslims and their culture belong in Muslim countries. There would then be no conflict - either with Western values, or with Muslim ones.
Each to his own or her own. The biggest mistake the West has made in its history, is to have allowed in millions of Muslims to settle here. They have, as is quite normal, brought their own religious, cultural, and tribal values, that are now in conflict with the West, to the detriment of all. This is a no-win situation for everone.
