    It would seem to be a simple manner of common sense and security...

    Identification of a person by viewing their face is a necessity for all activities in the civilized world...
    When a person deliberately obscures their face from all those people they interact with, they purposely cut off the most essential of human contact from the tranaction and they automatically raise a suspicion of ill-will and evil-intent with the rest of the community...

    Communities are build on shared protocols of communication like shaking hands, greetings, showing your face in public and anyone no willing to engage those shared protocols, and indeed harshly rejects these shared protocols in a highly visible and obvious manner, has no place in our community if only due to the ** and unrest it creates...

    There are communities in the world where burkas are accepted and even mandatory and so anyone demanding to wear a burka in public is stating their desire to live in such a community and we should help them accomplish their goal and remove them from our communities...

    Of course if these folk do wish to wear a burka, there is nothing stopping them from wearing the burka as long as it is done behind closed doors in the privacy of their own homes and not in full public view as it becomes a public decency issue
