Rejected petition Ban full face coverings & garments where only the eyes can be seen for security

The governments of Cameroon, Chad, Congo, Egypt, Morocco, Niger & Tunisia (after a terrorist attack) have all banned full face coverings garments where only the eyes can be seen for national security reasons. This proves they are not a religious requirement. As such we should too.
