Worn with a man's clothes, it would spell 'robber' and you'll probably get shot. Or if you were in the US you would. The one I got is advertised as a niqab and only covers the face.

If they make me take my helmet off but not the burkha I might have grounds for a complaint. 5 quid off ebay did you say? I might then even try a burkha under the helmet, that should confuse them!!!

Although I don't think the burkha should be made illegal, I do think it reasonable for proprietors to ban it from their premises and for it to be prohibited in public buildings on the grounds of security. But they're welcome to go for a walk in a park in it. I think it’s totally on topic, fed up.

I would like to see any cashier ask somebody to remove their burkha!! it just never happens but I'm expected too without argument.

I did read the whole piece and even spotted the reference to Burka Barbie. It is a very good post. Thank you for the links to pieces by British Muslim women who oppose the burka. Perhaps I could have phrased my comment better. I wanted to refer you my own take on the matter which does cite chapter and verse of the Koran as well the work of one of Islam’s foremost “scholars” regarding the role of women.
