Except for that a hat or a beard or a kilt don't hide all of your body. Even a headscarf (I hate those as well but I don't think they should or can be banned) leaves most of the face uncovered. If I see someone I want to be able to look him/her in the eyes. I want to be able to see who he is. Not only does that makes you feel safe, it is in fact safer. Who knows if whoever is walking underneath a burqa is indeed an innocent muslim woman? It can just as easily be a male bankrobber with an AK47 underneath his clothes.

If you want to wear a burqa at home, fine by me. But don't do it in public space where you offend or frighten people with it.

What proposed ban on Jewish practices? I've heard nothing about such a proposal
