Rejected petition Ban the Burqa

More details

I would like the government to ban the burqa. I honestly believe that the burqa is a threat, how can you tell who is underneath a burqa? How can you identify someone who doesnt show their face? Especially in the current times i think it is imperative that the burqa is banned.
