The Burka, should there be criticism of this headwear?

A famous British politician, Boris Johnson claimed this week that whilst he would not ban the full face burka, he did say that it looks ridiculous, and suggested that women who wear them look like bank robbers.

This comment has really divided opinion in Britain. What are feelings about this comment and why

While I think Boris Johnson is pretty much an asshole, I can't say he's completely wrong.
ALL religion is evil, nearly ALL of it is completely misogynistic.
Expecting any woman to cover any part of her body, just because some stupid-assed religion says she has to, is bullshit.
I have no respect for anyone's religious beliefs. None.
I have even less respect for any religion that deliberately keeps women down.

Doesn't Boris Johnson have anything better to do than bash Muslim head wear? Criticizing Muslim women is weak, bullying nonsense. His comment doesn't even rise to the level of a 6-year-old. That's y opinion.
