The islamic burqua and nikab popularly called "the ninja outfit" which many regard as a symbol of oppression is now a weapon in the hands of bandits.
Is it time the west and all progressive countries banned it?
Should we demand  to see the faces of the person standing behind us in line?

The second time, he fled London under a burqa a day after the failed attacks. As the Times (London) account puts it:

The 6ft 2in (188cm) figure of Yassin Omar, dressed from head to toe in a black burka, could be seen with a white handbag over his left arm as he made his way with a woman to a London coach station. Mr Omar boarded the 6.20pm National Express service to the Midlands, Woolwich Crown Court was told. Three hours later the bus arrived in Birmingham and he disembarked. He sat on a bench and waited until a red Nissan Sunny car pulled up, Max Hill, a junior prosecutor, said. He then got in and was driven away.

Afghanistan: Afghan soldiers captured Mullah Mahmood, a Taliban leader and expert bomb-maker, as he tried to flee a massive NATO security operation dressed in a burqa.

Something we both agree on.

I never knew that men wear that too.

now they are
so much for their masculinity

Reminds me of a young un who wanted to do her industrial training prog with & was in the outfit. Requested that she let me see her face 2 confirm her id pix esp as she read engineering and wanted posting 2 one of our engineering facilities; she refused. Had to reject her attachment with my company then, as I felt she had no business looking 4 a job in a masqurade outfit.Sure would like 2 know whom I'm working with

If that is the case then there are lot of things that are needed to be ban.hoodlums use guns to kill people so using gun shld be ban even security operatives shld be ban using guns because they sell it to those hoodlums and they even kill people out of hanger.havent you heard of a situation whereby a man was hut dead of N20 a police wanted to collect.

Cars and bike are also use by hoodlums to carry out their operations. let's place ban on everything that people use to perperate evil deeds and you'll see that we wld not be left with anything.let's address the main issue instead of condemning what is right.

Because some us that dress to carry out evil act does not mean that all those who use it are doing the same.Watch what you say because the court of law wld use it against you.

you couldn't possibly take yourself seriously.
If a repairman or city worker  knocked on your door dressed in a burqua,would you open your door?
and if you did wouldn't you want to compare her ID with her real face?

If I had a business,I'm 100% sure I won't be hiring some one whose face I cannot see.
I also think banks and businesses like that must demand to see the faces of people transacting business with them
and in this age of al queda,it should be illegal to have people walking covered in bedsheets.
How can we find Osama when he could easily wear his wife's burqua? or one of his own
That's not right!!.

If you must cover up,stay indoors,it's as simple as that.
we would not tolerate people in masks why should be tolerate ojuju calabar in broad daylight in this day and age

In a normal world,only criminals and crazy people normally feel the need to walk around as masqauredes.If I was to walk the streets in a balaclava,I would meet with public dissaproval.For hordes of women to be walking about,dressed as ninjas,is troubling.

PS:I heard a dissproportionate amount of Muslim women in the West suffer from rickets.I wonder why!
