Tony Abbott says he finds the Burka confronting. Do you think he should Ban the Burka if he becomes PM?

I find Tony Abbott confronting...can we ban him too?

Most people find his budgie smuggling speedos confronting

(edit) I agree with him! ^^^

Mr Speedos declaring full body clothing confronting?

(edit 2) Ban The Berk I say.

I say if anyone is fugly, then they should think of those that have to look at em and keep covered up.

There are quite a few who I could think of that should wear full body clothing, Bert Newton for starters.

Yes

Not seen any one here wearing one yet....

I'd rather they banned Chelsea shirts meself.... now if ANYTHING is confronting and offensive it'd be some one wearing a chelsea shirt

Gotta giggle at the mad monk.

Yes. Ban it!

I see them everywhere I look here in London.

Yes, ban them

No - as if the plight of a muslim woman isn't difficult enough with the restrictions put on her by her own religion - imagine having to be housebound and not be able to even go out shopping or collect your children from school. Banning fully covered women is not going to stop muslim extremists.

My eleven year old daughter (eldest) reads the newspaper aloud to all of us in the car on the way to school each morning - this story came up a few months ago and all three of my kids were appalled and couldn't believe their home country that taught them to love everyone for what they are would be so narrow minded. They have mates with covered mothers (in public) they go to their homes and see them in their normal clothing and are no different to you or I.

As frustrating a place as the UAE can be to live, the fact that people are respectful in the way they dress I find to be a good thing. I've found having to make my kids be a little more conservative in the way they dress has taught them more about self respect and respect for others.

I'll have to take your word for it.

Man Boobs + Football Shirt One Size Too Small =

I have a Gillingham shirt by the way ... extra large

That reminds me . . . I've got a game tonight.

Oh please

I reckon if your average Muslim husband found himself having to do the weekly shop for bog roll and fish fingers because his wife couldnt leave the house un-burqaed, the rules would be changed.....eventually.
