    Of course it isn't valid. You were putting terrorists behind those burqas. I was putting hookers.

    And someone could be putting terminators under it. If I would be running a criminal/terrorist organisation, well, well that's just me how would you do it. To have your guys running the streets with absolute freedom of movement because of absolute concealment of my organisation, pure bliss. And you allow that all because you don't want to insult people who build their houses from mud and camelshit had they not lived in a civilization.

    How often do you see people wearing burqas? In order for a burqa to be a viable tool of concealment, it has to be common. So, what's the share of burqa enthusiasts in Dutch society?

    I have never seen one in my life, but is that the point.

    Has burqa been illegal all these years? If not, then what's the purpose of banning something that isn't a problem anyway?

    I don't know how big the problem is in France, but in Belgium it isn't that uncommon that criminals wear them. The burkha just isn't here thankfully.

    Still, the question stands: why ban burqas in the Netherlands if they aren't a problem there? I mean, when you pass a law, you expect it to accomplish something. What exactly would this kind of law accomplish if it were passed?
