British Justice Secretary Jack Straw refuses to ban burqas in Britain while at the same time he demands muslim women remove their burqas when visiting his office. Daily Mail
Muslim women should never be banned from wearing burkas on Britain's streets, Justice Secretary Jack Straw said yesterday.[...]
Mr Straw said he would 'strongly recommend against'.
He added: 'I do not believe that this is a matter which should be the subject of the criminal law in which we were expecting the police to remove these items of apparel from women who choose for religious or cultural reasons to wear them.'
His public stand is in contrast to his private request that women constituents remove their burkas before visiting his Blackburn office.
