I never understood the Burqa or Niqab myself.

Still that being said, I think if women want to wear it then they should be allowed to, but thats European freedom for you.

In all seriousness, banning of wearing burqas makes as much sense as banning the wearing of hats.

It's a poor attempt to Europeanize muslims. When governments attempt these cultural changes at such a drastic measure it usually leads to a even more separatist approach from the respective communities.

If I was the ruler of my own country, I'd ban these things as well. They are just simply idiotic.

I wouldn't ban practicing Islam, however. That would be just as dumb as enforcing burqas.

Technically you aren't banning anything Islamic if you actually do ban Burqa's, its more of a cultural phenomena really, but still, people should be allowed to wear it if they wanted to.

People should wear what they want, but in certain places I don't feel comfortable seeing people in full body suits where anything can be concealed. Airports for example, I'm a nervous flyer as it is without people causing me more stress.
