A RADIO announcer's call for a ban on Islamic hijabs has been backed by the National Retailers Association.
The peak national body has called for all hijabs, helmets and hoodies to be banned in shops and banks for security purposes.
Brisbane radio presenter Michael Smith angered listeners after calling for Muslim women who wear a hijab to be fined.
The 4BC drive presenter said on Wednesday that wearing the hijab or burka posed a security risk because it obscured the face, making it difficult to identify the wearer in the instance of a crime.
Smith said it should be made an offence.
Pious Muslim Motherhood
Retailers association executive director Scott Driscoll said it had been a long accepted practice to require customers to remove helmets and other identity obscuring headwear when entering a shop or bank.
"Retailers should not have to fear any form of retribution or backlash for requiring the removal of any obscuring headwear, including hijabs, as a condition of entry,'' Mr Driscoll said.
"This is about ensuring a more safe and secure retail environment for all and being able to readily identify any and all perpetrators of armed hold-ups or shop theft.''
Islamic Council of Queensland president Suliman Sabdia said he was disappointed by Smith's remarks.

"He has every right to say it but we do say he displays intolerance, and a complete lack of understanding of the Muslim code of conduct,'' Mr Sabdia said.
He said he did not think Mr Smith should be fired, instead inviting him to a meeting to discuss the issues.
"Does revenge really, at the end of the day, solve anything? No,'' he said.
"We forgive him for his lack of understanding, we pray that God almighty gives him the wisdom and the understanding to respect every other individual.''
A poll on the station's website today asking, ``Should we impose restrictions on the wearing of burkas in Australia?'' had a yes result of 76 per cent, and 23 per cent no, at 10am (AEST).
Comment was being sought from 4BC.
What makes this Muslim arse clown think anyone gives a rats arse what he forgives or what the "Muslim code of conduct "is ?
Mr Suliman Sabdia you have come here under false pretences, you were not granted the right to live in Australia so you could educate and impose upon Australian's the neanderthal practices of your cult of Islam, when you were granted the right to live here it was on condition amongst others that you behave yourself and obey OUR laws and OUR "code of conduct" not YOURS.
Islamic immigrants and illegal entrants tell Australians that the country's they ran away from were no longer suitable for civilized occupation and there fore they demanded to to allowed to live in Australia,your socialist left / Islamic bleeding heart fifth column that has infiltrated both of Australia's political party's fell for your speil and without reference to the Australian people allowed you to enter,why then do you and your fellow coreligionists once granted residency in Australia demand that Australia suffer the same dark age customs and paganistic voodoo superstitions that made your countries of birth according to you, no longer suitable to live in?
Muslims in Australia either illegal or legal immigrants or those born here, go back to the countries of your parents / grand parents where the neanderthal religious and social customs you demand be imposed upon Australians are already in place,there you can rape, pillage, plunder and subjugate all you like with out fear of retribution.
Your own words and deeds show Australian's daily that you are totally unsuitable to live in a Judeo / Christian Democracy under the rule of law and the civilized behavior that it manifest's.
"....Should we impose restrictions on the wearing of burkas in Australia?'' had a yes result of 76 per cent, and 23 per cent no,"
GET OUT !!!!!! OR STFUp learn some manners,do as you are told, remember you are uninvited guests in Australia, so behave.
Islam can only exist as a repressive majority or a disruptive minority.
