A Sri Lankan man dressed in a burka was arrested at the arrival lounge of the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) this morning.

The suspect, a Muslim from Colombo, had told the police that he dressed in a burka to surprise his girlfriend who was returning from Qatar.

However, he was arrested by the police for questioning. (T.K.G. Kapila)

Tell Police to make a search of his house and associates and collect informations on his previous behavior. He should be sunnathed again.

Without raising religious and cultural rifts why cant people deal with these matters on a logical basis. Have a seperate area/lane to check those who come in covered clothing from whatever group religion etc..If require take extra time and even strip and check but without indignifying any one. Hope sanity returns to human race fast.

Please jail him for 10 years as a deterrant for others. What he has done is truly unislamic.

This incident doesn't hv anything to do with Islam, he may be mad, jail him. Don't try to make any issue with Islam or Muslims , there are some opportunists to make issues and make it as national problem.

This is no joke and more serious things can happen under the cover of Burka. Where was this Burka 50 years back?

Name and shame him, also face cover is not important according to the quran as the quran asks women to cover their bosom and the head. This man should be jailed without any questions.
