Ban the burka?

All week on the news there has been discussion of the imposing issue of women in the UK covering their faces with a burka. Clearly this threatening behaviour has to be stopped because everyone that chooses to wear a burka is obviously a terrorist whose aim is to destroy all Engligh people while they're picking up a few bits in Tesco.
Umm..Hello? Does anyone else think this view is extremely ignorant and offensive?
The argument is that while in England people should respect and conform to an English culture, since wearing a burka ia not a requirement of religion. If that is the case shouldn't we force them to become obese, binge-drinkers and introduce them to the corrupt benifit system?
How about instead, we show repect for another culture, rather that pointing our fat fingers in their face shouting, "Terrorist!"
