An idea that is long overdue: fingerprint burqa wearers

I can hear it now, racist, bigot, neanderthal, neocon right wing domestic terrorist, and I have heard them all, and you know what? I do not care! So please, go right ahead and call me names, send me hateful comments(no profanity please!), whatever you feel like calling me, is fine with me.

You will not stop me nor will you convince me to change my mind. islam is NOT a religion nor are muslims a race. So it will not be profiling nor will be a race related issue. This is what I would call a good security measure and perhaps ALL muslims need to be fingerprinted? Banning all immigration from any and all islamic/muslim countries is long overdue as is stopping ALL immigration for the next 25 years, and I mean all except for special cases that involve special circumstances.

10,000 well armed U.S. troops on our southern border with REAL ROE would be a good idea while we are at it. obama extending the stay of the paltry number that we currently have along the border is seen as a joke, at best. Just like his entire administration. Except that it is no joke as the damages wrought upon the United States by the first muslim potus will take decades to undo. Lord truly help us if this country is stupid enough to re-elect him to a second and even more disastrous term.

Australia may use fingerprints to ID burqa wearers

SYDNEY — Australian police are considering using fingerprints to identify people wearing face-covering veils, after a judge said he could not be sure a burqa-clad woman was who she told police she was.

The judge said this week that a case against Carnita Matthews, who a magistrate earlier found had made a false complaint against police, could not be upheld partly because he could not be sure she had made the complaint.

The complaint was made by a burqa-wearing woman to a Sydney police station but officers never saw the woman's face.

"I am not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that she made the complaint," Judge Clive Jeffreys said on Monday.

Following the decision, New South Wales state Police Minister Mike Gallacher said he would ask police to consider improved identification strategies for those wearing items such as the burqa -- which covers a woman's head and body.

One such strategy could be that "where the person elects not to remove their facial covering that they can provide a fingerprint as a means of identification", he told ABC television.

Gallacher said it was possible that fingerprints could be included on statutory declarations and other statements to ensure they were authentic.

The New South Wales government said regardless of religion or gender, all people were required to obey the law.

"Whether you're wearing a clown's mask, whether you're wearing a motorcycle helmet, whether you're wearing a face veil of any form, police can and have the power to demand that you remove it," Premier Barry O'Farrell said.
