If some Muslim countries can ban the Burkha, with no fuss, then why can't we?

I like 'we can reveal' that Moslem countries have long banned it, as though the Sunday Express is revealing some secret. Turkey banned the burqa in the days of Kamal Ataturk! Other countries ban it as a religious symbol but that is secularism. France,for example, bans all religious symbols in state schools, including the wearing of the cross.
AOG would you like us to be like France in that regard or is just the burqa that you would ban ?

Best of France's ban was reported last year in Nice Matin. Local schools were visited by a friar who gave information about his religion and way of life, in the course of comparative religion instruction. His whole costume was one big religious symbol and it would be in a school.Question: were the schools to insist upon him coming in 'plain clothes' (if he had any) ?
What would your answer be AOG? I assume you don't want overt religious symbols. So you'd not want the yarmulke, not just the burqa. Or is it that you see the burqa as oppression of women, forcing them to do something for men, in the name of religion? In which case would you ban strictly orthodox Jews from insisting their wives shave their heads? If neither, why single out the burqa?.

The usual answers I expected.
On the radio this morning there are three Muslim schools, one in Tower Hamlets, one in Leicester, and the other one whose location I missed.
In these three schools all the female pupils have been ordered to wear the Burkha and anyone who refuses will be appropriately punished.
There's freedom of choice for you.
Would any of you tolerant, blinked, easy going types, care for your daughters to be so dictated to?

thers been a girl sacked from her job in a Leeds estate agents for refusing to 'cover up. her boss is a Muslim who says she has been brought up without showing respect...to???
yet the other girls he employs who are British whites I presume, are not told to cover up, fair to say she won £13,500 damages against this despot!
to take up your point about the schools aog, if these are Muslim run establishments then we have no argument, you could say to the Talmad Colleges around the country
