PETITION: Ban the burka! Ban this oppressive medieval practice!

ADDRESSED TO: JUSTICE SECRETARY SHABANA MAHMOOD

Today, in the House of Commons, a Reform MP, Sarah Pochin, questioned Keir Starmer about banning the oppressive Islamic burka.

Keir Starmer ignored the question, but the question has caused a storm in politics and in the media.

The British people overwhelmingly want the burka/niqab banned on security grounds.

The burka/niqab is a backward practice that oppresses women.

We have launched a petition that we intend to deliver to Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, demanding that there is an urgent public referendum on this issue.

    Like balaclavas I find Burkas intimidating . And I don’t agree with any face coverings unless it’s on medical grounds.

    They should be removed for security reasons, if white people covered up like that ’we’d all get arrested on suspicion of something.

    This is not a Islamic Country and Islamophobia is a Myth that prevents anyone question the draconian and outright evil that persists in Islam.
