The banning of burqas

   In France, on 13th of July of last year, a new law came into force, called "banning of burqas". The burqa is a veil that covers the face completely, and is used by Muslim women.

   This is, for Muslim ladies, a part of their culture, and in France, the people who use the burqa are very angry about the new law, because they defend the liberty of everybody to wear the clothes they want, as the human rights say.

   On the one hand, it's true that everybody should wear the clothes they like, being burqas or another type of head-to-toe clothing.

   On the other hand, people could use these veils to be completely face-covered and if authorities like the police, security mans, etc. can't recognise the face of all the people who are in public places, they could think these unidentified people are planning a terrorist attack or another type of crime; and these is the argument that the French politicians used to refuse and ban the burqa.

   In conclusion, I think the human rights and being free are more important than the remote possibility of a terrorist disguised in a burqa or another type of veil which covers the face completely. To sum up, I disagree with the banning of burqas.
