If you come to the West, there are other things to wear than short skirts. Walking around in burkha is not acceptable - since you're not in your own country. It would be exactly the same as people going to north Africa or Middle East, being hot, and taking their clothes off.

Do you think the reaction to wearing a burkha in the West would by more or less than the reaction to a skirt or shorts in the MidEast?

You know, I think so. I suppose because you would never wear a skirt in the Middle East, especially since you went there to live (if you did that is)

N-not really. Where does it say that anyone in the west can't wear a Burqa?

Textbook example.
I agree, most tedious.
But it is not the same. My sister could wear a Burqa if she wanted, she just doesn't want to. We don't have a dress code. And you don't have to fear physical violence on a greater scale if you choose to wear one, whether you are a westerner or from the middle east or even black.

Actually, we do have a dress code. You are now allowed to go in a bikini in a bank or a public buildingl. You are also not allowed to wear a hood or face covering when entering a bank, or public building for security reasons.etid, just checked online - no sunglasses, hoods or hats
Yes, that is an exception though. You are allowed to wear it going shopping for example...we try to be liberal about what to wear as we have many different ideas what decent clothes are. As for the bikini thing I am not sure whether that is accurate, but I would say that is more of a problem on our side.
We don't tell people what to wear in their day to day lives...if it does not affect others. And a Burqa doesn't.
[edit] And try to adress my point, not secondary issues, I would appreciate it.

And noone here is talking about what you do in your own home and with your own friends. Thats not the issue, so we can move on right now.
The issue is ban in the public places - schools, banks, all public buildings, such as courthouses, police stations, hospitals, workplaces, malls...etc.

That's not what I was saying, I meant if you wear it in public places. Why should it be banned there?
And you changed the issue, I don't appreciate it, you said they should dress like the other people in that country. Very different issue to what you say now.
It is of course to consider whether we should allow people to hide their faces in such public places as banks, courthouses and police stations (and similar).
But what reason is there to not allow people to wear it anywhere else?

I-it kinda is. Because it is either a lie or an atrocious law that should not be in place. Either way, I care to know.

Lets all stutter.
D-do you even know what a burkha is? 😐 I don't think you do.
Hmm, yeah I don't really see why THIS should be banned in banks and public buildings.

It falls under the Public Indecency act, of the Public Order section (I think, I need to check, since thats not really my area) about indecent exposure, ie nakiddness!!💃
