Women who wear burkhas in public in France will be fined

[ricgem2002]

..they are removed in those circumstances.

so on grounds of security they have to remove them and show the face ?if this is the case would a security guard working for a bank who asked someone to remove their scarf be just doing his job or be branded a bigot and probably lose his job because he hurt someones feelings ?

reading some of these posts, it seems some people think head scarfs and burkas are actually glued on....they can and do remove them if needed in certain circumstances

Why would he be branded a bigot? Burka wearers already remove it for identification purposes, so your speculation is way off the mark.

But won't they only remove them in a closed room with no men about?

devils advocate here but supposing a burka wearer needed mouth to mouth and only a man was present?

kind of like the old catchphrase to a racist ...if you were dying would you send a black doctor away ?

More to the point, what if someone had an heart attack and you went to give them mouth to mouth and removed the Burka only to find it was a bloke with a huge Tash ?

Are men forbidden from having heart attacks?

Would you consider a mouth to mouth in saving a life as something sexual hard2miss, and would you not help a dying man if you were able to? If no, then would that be on grounds of the person being a man or a burka wearing cross dresser or a Muslim or.......do you have a thing about a huge tash??

It's probably more to do with hard2miss's revulsion at tonguing a bloke..

Why the 'but'? Yes that's the case and it get's around the security issue that you were concerned about.
