Greetings,
Just read this on the BBC website. Just wondered what people think of this and other similar bans. My initial reaction was that it was completely absurd. I have my own criticisms of the burka and what it represents, however I feel people really should be able to wear (or not wear) whatever they damn want, especially on the beach.

Am I being PC?

If a clothing had the icon of a black swastika on a white background inside a red circle would you still think the same?
Or what about a KKK robe? I wouldnt feel safe if i walked down the road and suddenly round a corner came 50 people wearing a KKK robe walking towards me.
Anyway the thing about Burkas (and the likes) is that its not just straight forward. You can meet up 3 people wearing a burka all with 3 different backgrounds. Like one person could be a woman who are forced to wear the burka. A second woman could be wearing it from her own choice. A 3rd person could be a guy disguised as a muslim woman out to kill workers with a bomb or a loaded ak47 hidden under the burka.
One could say if burkas or similar clothing are normal clothing behaviour for woman then it should be observed that woman are wearing burkas where there are no muslim influence. (like in South America...?)

But this is not observed, so it can only mean that the burka is forced on them from outside of female influence. Which means those women who are wearing a burka purely out of their own choice belongs to a very small minority.
