It's time to ban the veil says Daniel Pipes

Pipes5.jpg"... burqas and niqabs should be banned in all public spaces because they present a security risk. Anyone might lurk under those shrouds – female or male, Muslim or non-Muslim, decent citizen or criminal – with who knows what evil purposes....

"Expressing the universal fear aroused by these garments, a recent Pakistani horror film, Zibahkhana (meaning 'slaughterhouse' in Urdu) includes a sadistic cannibalistic killer figure dubbed 'Burqa Man'.... The time has come everywhere to ban from public places these hideous, unhealthy, socially divisive, terrorist-enabling and criminal-friendly garments."
