Denmark bans wearing the burqa in public

[Coventina]

245. It has nothing to do with climate. I live in Arizona and have traveled

to 49 out of our 50 states, and across much of Europe and Asia

Everywhere I go, (note: I have not been to the Middle East) I see women dressed in the full burka, while their male companions wear t-shirts, shorts, khakis, polo shirts, sports jerseys, etc.

I have been to mosques, to predominantly Muslim neighborhoods and communities, and never have I EVER seen Muslim males in the thawb. NEVER.

And, I see many women dressing western as well. So, nobody can tell me that the religion requires it or that women can't adapt to western clothing.

(In fact, I went to college with a guy from Kuwait, when his grandmother came to visit him here in the States, she threw off her burka and said she'd never wear it again! And she was only visiting, not moving here!)

Anything that impedes the face or movement of a person cannot be tolerated in a free society. End of story.
