Should burkas be banned in the UK?
Position‹2 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.
