Let me run you through my main objection to the Burqa and Hijab again, you don't seem to have grasped it yet.


The Burqa and Hijab cover a persons identity.

Lets get over that hurdle first before we start discussing other religious garb.



To my knowledge God has not delivered a message to any religious group about dress regulations. If God had done that I'm sure a message would have gone out to the Catholic Pope that wearing a maroon coloured dress and red shoes is not Kosher.
I do understand your concerns about the Burqa concealing a person's identity.
I just feel that they are unwarranted.
It is their right/freedom to do so.
It's been discussed time and time again that person's rights end at someone else's.
I don't see how their wearing this attire intrudes on someone else's rights.
Are you saying that we have a right to see what they look like?
