SARAJEVO (Reuters) - Two armed men disguised as Muslim women in burqas held up a bank in Sarajevo and got away with some $40,000, Bosnian police said on Tuesday.
They said the pair entered a Union bank branch in the capital wearing head-to-toe black dresses and veils typical of women adhering to the orthodox Islamic code and trained guns on customers. They then made customers lie on the floor while the emptied the tills, police added.
“Everything happened in a moment. Two persons in black niqabs (burqas) came into the bank. I thought they were ladies,” the Sarajevo daily Oslobodjenje quoted bank customer Mehmedalija Komarac as saying.
Women in burqas and men with long beards have become a common sight in the Bosnian capital in recent years
Sad to see the burqa being used as a disguise for criminals. Might we one day see a situation where burqas/niqabs are banned from banks? Already many banks ban people wearing motorcycle helmets from entering.

burkas should be banned, along with those women who continue to wear it.
women in veils tend to be sympathetic to al-qaeda and have no problem hiding bombs to kill more innocent people.

wow wow…dude keep ur anti Semitic n Islamophobic statements to urself.
its homosexualz who try to make all this mess.
veil is equally respectable in every monotheistic religion.
suicidal attempts are Haraam in Islam. so according to my knowledge ur referral is not towardz muslim women, please specify their religion.
wid due respect [we] innocent ppl always dies, whether we talk about war b/t hazbollah or isreal, whether its india n kashmir, whether its american in iraq or iraqis in iraq, or any whereelse..no effect on politicians (all r mercenaries) on either sides
well its just a POV…it might b rong n right…but plz dont dont disrespect clothings cuz of action of others. (specifically of men speaking)
Re: Men disguised as Muslim women in burkas rob bank (Merged)
you keep your anti-western and anti-christian comments to yourself, how about that?
like the saudis who are repressed homosexuals? or the paki mullahs who molest little boys in their deoband madrassas?
veil is equally respectable in every monotheistic religion.

yeah, whatever you say.
yet every muslim ive met considers suicide bombers to be shaheed. should i bring up how many pakistanis came to the funeral of one of the london bombers? ive met my fair share of pakistanis who also expressed support for zarqawi.
hey its okay to call western girls whores because they don’t want to cover themselves with ugly niqab or burkas, but cry foul when others do the same to you?

(b/t let u know they call parents themsleves wid all these names…its not us…its they themselves, n i always condemned their this action. cuz widout ny race mother n father are very beautiful relations. so i always make them respect.)
