Thread Name: BS: Is it safe to drive...
Subject: RE: BS: Is it safe to drive...
I find this statement from the link very funny: "The UK is a Christian Country with Christian mores, the UK is tolerant beyond belief for alternative religions and beliefs. Fit in or get out"

Doesn't sound all that tolerant to me.

I don't have a problem with it. It comes down to the issue of safety, I think. If someone wearing a burkha is able to demonstrate that they hwve full visibility I wouldn't think that wearing it while driving is an issue.

Amish women often wear deep, black bonnets. If they were to drive cars (which they don't) I'm sure they'd have to remove them. The burkha appears to be different. The bonnets are just as visible and perhaps just as disturbing to the "tolerant beyond belief" people as burkhas.
