The burqa and the niqab completely remove the identity of women in the public sphere. This is not female empowerment. All Islamic veils are ultimately imposed on women either directly or insidiously. These veils are not innocent pieces of cloth devoid of symbolism.
Humans are a visual and social species. Roughly 80% of our sensorial input is via our vision. We gauge one another by reading each other’s faces. Hence, in a free society each individual has the right to know the identity of those around them and interpret their prospective intent based on their facial cues. Feeling threatened by a masked person is not hateful, it is a very human response. The religion/quran does not prescribe these particular veils. It is incumbent for immigrants to adapt to the culture of the host nation, not the other way around. Taking a long term view of the situation, if we were to permit this practice, the numbers of women donning this attire will quickly increase due to the high birth rates of the those devout muslims.

Hijab or burka is unAustralian and discriminatory.

This is Australia with Australian laws and way of life. It has been a great country for the past many years and shall be kept that way, not to be made into another country.

i would be arrested if i wore a kkk outfit around town.this garment means the same thing.it has nothing to do with faith as no where does the quran state it has to be worn or should be worn.it is a divisive garment.it i was to have an altercation with some one dressed in this outfit what sort of discription could i give the police.the color of the eyes.yet if i was to attack them they would have full knowledge of my features.in road rage incidents which i have seen you can't do a thing you can not identify them.must be outlawed

This is a civilised western country with Christian values. There is no place in this country for the inequality that this form of dress stands for, and as a motorcycle rider I am not allowed to wear a helmet into a secure building, I personally find it offensive that a minority group can challenge the laws that I must abide by, whether it be for religious reasons or just personal choice

The burka is not a religious item, it is cultural only. It has no more significance in Australia than a pair of footy boots.
