Normally, I couldn't care less what people wear. However this Birkha deal has got me interested and I must come down against the wearing of it in public places.
It has been used by males to escape from Europe. It is being used to transport ammunition and bomb making materials, underneath it, on a daily basis, all over the World. it has been used to cover up suicide bombers. It can be used to move drugs, gold, diamonds or any contraband. Inspections are not a practicabile step as you can't just walk up to a burkha wearer and say, "right, get yer kit off!! need any music??" because that would be racist and/or religious intolerance.
I suppose that a case could be made, saying that all clothing can be used as a covering. By it's very definition, clothing is a body covering. But this garment is so all covering, voluminous and has the ability to be used to conceal as much as a person can carry under it, that it must be banned in public..
