burkas are a security risk. As far as religion goes, i find the use of them archaic and demeaning to women, but the security issue is what bothers me the most.
Could you imagine if everyone decided to wear ski masks all of the time? If i walk around a mall wearing a ski mask for instance, I am pretty sure that it would be less than 5 minutes before i was accosted by security or police.
We had looney tunes a few years back that tried to argue that forcing women to remove them for drivers license and passport pictures was unconstitutional. Can you imagine this?
People should be allow to practice whatever religion that they choose without persecution or bias...that being said, if certain aspects of their religion do not conform to the laws or standard practices of their new resident country of choice, they should really go somewhere that caters to them instead of expecting their new host country to change to accommodate them.
If they have no intention of integrating themselves into the society of their choice, they should simply be denied the opportunity to do so.
Many respectable muslim people have done that here without compromising their religion or their ability to practice it. These are the model citizens we want. Those who seek asylum in a place they do not want to truly have any part in can fuck right off and should remind themselves why they left their country of origin to begin with.
If i go to a Muslim country with my gf, she will cover her head out of respect to local custom even if it is against our beliefs. You choose to go somewhere, you must live with the expectation of said society. No excuses.
