More and more Muslims are immigrating into western nations with varying degrees of success.
Canada, not generally known as racist or intolerant, being a nation of immigrants, do not seem to have much use or tolerance for Muslim customs and having a religion dictate what women will wear.

Is Canada becoming intolerant and fed up with religions or is there some other reason for Canadian hard line against hijab niqab and burka?
What of the U.S.?
Canada has not had a lot of problems to date. A few Honor killings when the young have refused to dress in the traditional way. I think that I would vote with the vast majority just to end Canadian Honor killings. I also see this as a safety issue in the sense that in a nation where so many do a lot of driving, to add blind spots caused by head and face wear seems like a poor idea.
To be frank though, I see Christianity and Islam as homophobic and misogynous religions and would vote for any measure that would reduce misogyny.
Are the large majority in Canada and elsewhere who would outlaw the hijab, niqab and burka wrong?

"Now, you know it's up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. Or... well, like Brian, for example, has thirty seven pieces of flair, okay. And a terrific smile."
Humans should be banned ,outlawed and ostrasized .
That's a riot. I live near one of the so-called No Go Zones and the only thing I can say is that whoever came up with this idea has Never Gone to any of them.
Racist, disgusting garbage. With a dose of irony - you'd prefer governments "dictate what women will wear" rather than religion? I always thought religious freedom and personal liberty were so important to the RW?
I'd suggest getting to know some Muslims. Ask a woman in a burqa why she wears it. Ask a woman who doesn't wear any traditional coverings why she doesn't. Maybe you'll learn that Muslims are individual human fucking beings and not racial stereotypes.
Has it ever occurred to you that some DUers are Muslim? Maybe your neighbor is. Guess what - they are all around you and you clearly don't even know it (ooooh, scary!)
This OP would be sad if it weren't so funny.
I remember reading some ideas for controlling unwanted religions that were implemented in the 30's. I believe they were considered quite successful in some circles.
How exactly is the U.S. in a moral tail spin?
As much as that pisses off the crowd on DU who wants to outlaw bikinis.
But I'm not sure how you address that through legislation in a pluralistic society with religious freedom under the 1st Amendment. 
women wear like pics below .
and i am neither christian or muslim.
I mean, fuck. The "No-Go Zones" in question are pretty obviously what are otherwise known in the parlance as, "private property". There are probably a whole ton of places in the US where you couldn't drive a truck with a camera crew uninvited up onto some guy's yard without him freaking the fuck out or at least telling you you couldn't "go" there.
Cliven Bundystan, anyone?
