I was glad to read on the Times of Malta (August 12) that shadow justice minister Jason Azzopardi started the ball rolling for a ban on the burqa and full face veils.
I don’t know what’s holding back other countries in following France and Belgium in doing the same. Even moderate Muslim countries such as Morocco and Tunisia are against women wearing it.
It’s about time Muslim women stood up to their husbands and fathers and refuse to wear the burqa, especially in a foreign country, as it not only scares people away but also degrades Muslim women who wear it.
