This topic really divides my opinion. On one hand I hate burquas and genuinely feel they are a huge barrier to intergeneration into western society, something Muslims already struggle with greatly with their highly incompatible religion but on the other it should not be up to any government to decide what people can and cannot wear. There should be a zero tolerance policy on any man who makes his wife, sister, second wife, mother, third wife etc wear one against their will but if a Muslim woman genuinely feels she wants to wear one, then she should have the complete freedom to do so.
However, they should be forced to remove them whilst in banks, government buildings or anywhere else that the rest of the population would be banned from covering their faces for security reasons, and this should cause no issue from either party. When I used to work in a bank most days I would have to tell a biker to remove their helmets as I was told to make sure nobody entered the bank if their face wasn't visible. On the rarer occasions a Muslim woman entered in a burka it was a more touchy subject to approach but I did try too and more often than not was shouted at by the male Muslim she was with and then pretty much hung out to dry by the bank managers who sided with the Muslim male and made me apologise despite only following what they told me to do.
If you want to wear one fine, but don't get angry when you are asked to remove it in a place where everyone else would be asked to do the same.
