Islamic full-face veils should be banned in shopping centers, public buildings and on public transport, UKIP leadership hopeful Lisa Duffy has said.

She said she did not want a general law banning the veil, but there were some places it should not be allowed.

Should be no issue with banning the veil at malls and the like.

After all, they can’t legally, according to Sharia, drive there.

Face veils...in fact the entire “costume” of islamic women offends me. How they cn be so stupid as to support their own slavery is beyond me.

They’re raised with the brainwash. Like the other brainwash the “Palestinians” engage in, to teach kids to hate Jews for no reason at all.

Really?

Motorcycle helmets? Ski masks? Welder's helmets? Gas masks? Bandanas?

Etheridge, your vacillation regarding the threat of Islam makes you look small-minded.

I see. You don't want them banned, you want to prohibit their use in inappropriate places. Why didn't you say so?

Last time I checked, "the mall" was private property. Let the owners deal with the matter as they see fit.

Driving? Require unobscured vision.

Walking around in public? I'm going to assume that you don't live in a place with really cold winters, and don't understand the unintended consequences of your proposal.
