French government bans burqas.

The problem is not robbing during, but the after where they avoid the police by use this clothing to lose the police, and criminals have done this sucessfully, because the police can't remove that clothing, and i don't aggree with the part of covering your face should be legal.

I'm going to ask you one final time. This is a very important question, because if you answer it I will be able to see where you are coming from. However, so far you have ignored it.

Do you honestly believe that banning the covering up of your face would prevent criminals from doing it?

Fantastic news.

If only the former Great Britain would finally show some backbone and ban them as well.

The should ban intolerant people like you!

Lrh 9, what is going to happen to Europe is; either you are going to hear church bells or have people (Imams?) calling for Salat (prayer).

And, what would your jesus think about this rubbish!

Its partly about security, at least one known terrorist has tried to escape by wearing one.

One whole person. The World is ending. Export the lot of them. Really, get a life.

It's a security risk, it's not part of their religion, and it's a tool of oppression it should be illegal, balaclavas are already illegal, the excuse of "it's my religion" is both fake and sad, i hate people that think they have more rights than others because it's their religion

So, if I wera a balaclava out side, it is against the law! What a joke!

From what I can see, the intolerant & racist people of the World are a waste of space and oxygen.

No, but it would give the police the ability to catch them if they try and that's my point

And yes Balaclavas are forbidden to wear...

Show your sources thanks. And which country are you talking about. I can gurantee you if I were to stand outside a Police Station in Australia with a balaclava on, they would't do anything. They could ask me to remove it to prove my identitiy, but they cannot stop me from wearing one!
