Azy;1210827]Staring at people isn't a crime ;)
That depends. If you kept staring at complete stranger in public you'd make them uncomfortable and if it's a guy who's just had an argument with the mrs, he'd probably lamp you one. Crime or not, it can lead to one.
They don't do as good a job of concealing your identity when speaking face to face.
And you think it's easy running with a burkha, especially with a sack of notes tucked in your armpits?

That's not what people are saying. Wearing a disguise is not likely to induce you to commit a crime, but if you're going to commit a crime you're likely to want to wear a disguise, so there is a correlation between the two. Catching criminals is hard when you don't know who they are. Also a police officer can already ask you to remove any items which conceal your identity.
I'm not sure. Suspicious derives from the Latin word suspectare, which means "to look at".
You're all gasping to find some kind of Islamophobic hate crime in this aren't you? (See my first post :D )
The only correlation here is between 'anti' and 'islam'. Like I said, the burkha is not the kit for commiting robberies. If you tried to climb through a window with one you'd probably slip and break your neck. Neither can you leg it in a burkha at breakneck speed if you're being chased by the police.
Why can't you accept that haters will do anything to belittle Islam without realising that concealing their faces won't help in concealing their intentions.
Ha! What's even the point of this discussion... Islam will prosper regardless! Ameen :D
