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.

    The burka represents the oppression found in backward 3rd world islamic countries, and does not belong in this Christian country.

    I feel threatened passing women in a burka and facial expressions are the core meaning to conversations in this country.

    Its essential that peoples faces are not covered when in public. This should also apply to wearing hoodies.

    The burka is a firstly a security risk secondly it’s a male subservient thing not a religious requirement and it also scares white children

    Islam is a backward, evil, warmongering & misogynistic political & legal ideology masquerading as a religion. Islam only respects force & weakness invites aggression. Islamic culture is inferior to our Christian culture. Islam is oppressive and intolerant of everything non-Islamic.

    Any woman who doesn’t see the control and unequality in this practise needs to wear one particularly when on route to their psychiatrist
