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

Goal: 100,000 Signatures

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.

In these days of terrorism, men disguise themselves in burqua’s concealing whatever weapons.

The burka is a symbol of woman-hatred, just as the kkk robes are a symbol of racism. Woman-hatred has no place in the UK or in any civilised country.

Someone in a balaklava is seen as a security threat so why is the burka different?
