Closed petition Ban the burqa

Closed on 12 August 2012

Join other EU countries such as Belgium, Italy & France in banning the burqa.
It is not a religious requirement. As humans, part of our understanding & communicating is being able to 'read' the emotions of another persons facial features. Burqa's do not allow for this primitive need.
Burqa's also allow for dishonesty from being photographed by a speed camera to robbery. They also cause massive queues at airports as the person has to go off with an official to a booth to have their identity cheated, leaving a massive queue behind them at border security.
