When you ban burqa in your community, then you allow only a select community of your nation to represent you in parliament also. So then your parliament would not be truly represented.

Just because one European Parliament thought it fit to ban the burqa it does not mean every EU nation starts doing it. One should assess the following for the countries/provinces that
banned the burqa..
1. Has crime stopped?
2. Has peace and justice prevailed?
3. Has tourism increased?
4. Has respect for all humanity increased?
5. Has freedom of wardrobe prevailed?
If answers to all the above questions is no, then dear Parliamentarians of the world please do not even think about such an extremist ban. Any form of extremism is bad. Middle path is the best. EU stands out amongst nations of the world for their commitment to justice, peace and tranquility. Dear Parliamentarians of EU nations, such bans would dwindle your respect in the world.
It’s always good to give space to others. Most Muslim nations are allowing immigrants to be free in their wardrobe choices at educational institutions, the beaches, in shopping malls and at get-togethers. Similarly Non-Muslim nations should also follow suit. Previously they did so.
If non- law abiding citizens are using burqa to hide themselves from cameras or to taint the picture of Islam. Then it’s not the fault of the burqa. It’s the fault of the less vigilance of the crime controlling authorities. Banning the burqa would not increase your security. Rather it could divide your nation and destroy the respect for each others’ religion.
When you ban burqa in your community, then you allow only a select community of your nation to represent you in parliament also. So then your parliament would not be truly represented.
Moreover, citizens of Muslim nations would not visit you with their families during holiday season. Your tourism profits would shrink.
Without naming any nation, I humbly request all parliamentarians to revise such extreme laws if by mistake they exist in your country. I also request those nations thinking of adopting such bans to refrain from such acts of injustice. Injustice and inequality lead to more crimes and less peace in the society.
