    Non-Muslim countries give every freedom to Muslims, but Muslims never give any freedom to their minorities.

    Denmark have done it, we should too.
    So you think the Muslim way is right? People should only be able to dress the way the government say? I'd prefer to let people choose to wear whatever they want.

    If we are going to ban certain people wearing certain items of clothing then I propose that we ban obviously non sporting people from wearing track suits.

    I would ban them from public buildings and shops etc. Just like I would ban anyone wearing ski masks/balaclavas from these places. It makes sense.

    I'm not overly delighted when I see a woman wearing a Niqab, and I see it a lot more here in the UK. It is a sign of oppression to me, even if many of the women who wear it are choosing to do so. However, I'm not really that comfortable with a government banning an item of clothing either, that seems very restrictive too, especially because it most likely alienates these women further.

    Women in Muslim society are very much second class citizens within their own type. That’s not even a debate. It’s Amazing how many excuses people make.

    I'd go to war over trans specified toilets. If a tool can't go to one toilet or the other he/she/it should stay ta fook at home.

    Cover yourself from the neck down no problem. However your face should be visible. We convey alot by facial expression it is important for interaction.

    If a person cannot wear a motorbike helmet in a place for security reasons.
    Then no one else should be allowed to float that law either.
    Plain and simple.

    It so fascinating that people that ****e on about let people wear what they want because you know I'm a progressive person. Gob****es. It's an item representing repression. Knobs.

    Of course it’s debatable as you’re using Western standards to comment on standards in Muslim societies. You’re basically comparing apples and oranges. If you’re going to attempt to make that comparison then by the same standards, women in Western society are also just as much ‘second class citizens within their own type’.

    What law would that be?
    Where is illegal to wear a helmet?

    Be a dick all you want. Never said illegal.
    Petrol stations, banks,
    And most reception areas will have notes in the windows saying such.

    Your sad post is bull****. Try harder next time.

    Gob****e post

    All public buildings and banks etc will have a sign telling motorcyclists to remove their helmet before entering the building.
    Its for security reasons.
    Why should anyone else be allowed cover their face beyond recognition entering the same buildings?

    Most fuel stations have it as a condition of sale, if someone arrives clad in the same gear where facial ID is impossible they should also be refused sale on security grounds. Personally I would not conduct business with any company allowing unknown identifiables to conduct sales.

    I admit that women in western society still face adversity in certain aspects. However in comparison to Islamic countries you are really taking the piss.

    Whatabout respecting local custom. As the saying goes when in Rome... Simple solution if you don't like the ideals or behaviours of a society probably best not to move there.

    If you ban hijabs, then the next step is banning hoodies.

    As a regular hoodie wearer, I say no.

    We are (trying to become) a liberal nation. We need to get out of this habit of banning stuff we dont like. Don't like abortions? Don't have one. Don't like Burqas? Don't wear one. Don't like booze being sold after 10pm? Don't buy any.

    Exactly, I won't ring Joseph Duffy esquire when I'm arrested drinking a tray of cans outside Burj Khalifa of an evening.
