Great argument against burqas provided by a burqa wearer

Text from jpeg above:

Daniel Pipes has long argued that burqas are a

security risk because they defeat the purpose of

security cameras and witness identification. When

I saw this picture of protesters in Yemen

saying they got the wrong burqa-clad suspect,

I thought, "I couldn't have said it any better!"

(The picture is un-doctored).

Burqa wearers are mostly anonymous, so if

someone commits a crime in a burqa, it could

as well be anyone for all we know. Like the

protester in the burqa said, "We are all Hanan."

Ironically, most burqas are dark in color, so

crimes committed whether by day or by night

are committed under cover of darkness.

The picture came from:

Yemen frees student held over parcel bombs,

Other screenshots of news showing the now-cleared

suspect, Hanan, or at least 20 square centimeters

where her eyes and nose are, if that's really her.

The media has to trust her on that, I guess, unless

they did retinal scans or have her voice print for

comparison (click for larger images):

Another Muslim woman makes the case against wearing the burqa in public.

A burqa-wearing Muslim woman complains at the

police station that a police officer manhandled her trying to see if

her face matched the the license photo after she presumably refused

to show her face. However, the squad car video shows that she

was not manhandled and that she made a false complaint. Moreover,

she accused the cop of racism and hate, so it was another Muslim

report of a hoax hate crime. To top it all off, she then tells the court

that since no one checked her face against her ID at the police station,

that it was someone else who made the complaint in her name. So

in one instance she thinks it unimportant for the police to see her face,

and in another it's all-important! The kafir cops can never win, and

that's what the Islamists want to happen. By the way, traffic photos

are often so clear they show the driver's face if taken from the right

angle, so burqas do defeat part of the purpose of traffic cameras as

they do security cameras.

Burqa-clad mum Carnita Matthews jailed for six months,

by Tim Vollmer and Nathan Klein From: The Daily Telegraph November 19, 2010

Excerpts: A BURQA-CLAD mother of seven who claimed she was the victim of mistaken identity has been jailed for six months for making a false complaint against a police officer.

However, the court was told that an officer who three days later accepted a statutory declaration from a burqa-clad woman he assumed to be Matthews failed to check her identification.

Matthews' lawyer Stephen Hopper said there was no way for police to prove that his client was the one who signed the statutory declaration at Campbelltown police station on June 10.

Mr Hopper said that meant Matthews should not have been charged with the offence of making a false complaint to police.
