Should burkas be banned in the UK?
Position2 of 3

Burkas should be banned in certain contexts

This position holds that burkas should be banned only in certain contexts. It argues that in a secular society they should be prohibited in government buildings and security-sensitive places—much as ski masks and helmets are already restricted in some locations.

  1. Ski masks and helmets are also banned in some locations
    You can't walk into a bank wearing a ski mask or a helmet. You shouldn't be allowed to wear a burka either.
  2. Burkas should be banned in some places because the government is secular
    In countries with a secular government, the burka should be banned from government buildings.
