Banks unsafe from burqa wearers in France

Two men, clad in a head to toe Islamic styled costume, have held up a French bank/post office.
Two men, clad in a head to toe Islamic styled costume, have held up a French bank/post office.

Clad in burqa-like clothes, the robbers used a handgun which had been concealed beneath the full veil.

The pair was allowed through security doors of the banking branch after staff mistook them for veil-wearing Muslim women.

The pair pulled the gun as soon as they were admitted and took off with 4,500 euros.

France is seeking to restrict use of the Islamic veil on security grounds, saying it is incompatible with French values.

President Nicolas Sarkozy has said the burqa is not welcome in France and wants legislation that bans it.

Burqa clad men rob French bank

Hollywood have never done a movie like this before. It is true the burqa can be used to commit crimes etc. This a very touchy issue. I will leave it to the French people to decide.

The burqa could hide bombs and arms to kill people because they are well hidden. I do not blame the French and if I am the French folks I will do the same.

Why didn’t the bank have scanners? And if it did, it was stupid of the doorman/security to let them go into the bank without being scanned.

It was probably a stunt orchestrated by the French government to garner more support for the burqa-nab :)

I stand behind the French,I think they should be unmasked.They should have no extra privileges.Nobody is allowed to go in the bank wearing body armour and sporting a gun.

wearing Burka.

There is no where written in Quran that the ladies have to wear Burkas. Then why some insist in wearing that stuff,even in the hot weather. This rule was made by the male.
Let us be open OPEN OPEN. This will be a step towards improving human relations and equality of sex.

Islam is a religion not a race

ibn Asulah it is not racist to dislike the bad things Muslim Christian or Budist people do, they are religions with many bad weak minded people, as well as good, but they are NOT a race.

The Burqa should be BANNED all over the world for many reasons.

They weren’t hiding behind viels....they were crossdressing.
