@ Skybird,

1) You are forgetting that many of burkha wearers in the west do so out of their own free will, yes it seems that most actually WANT to wear them (so they claim.)
Lets stop pretending that we are doing ALL of these women a favor by banning it. It is quite foolish to think that anyone here can speak on their behalf.

2) True, wearing a burkha in summer can be a health hazard, but so are ciggarettes and alchohol (all year round), in fact they are far worse, but we dont ban them do we?

3) We have tolerated burkha wearing in our countries for decades yet its suddenly a big deal?
Why now? Did 9/11 started it? because to my mind no one gave a damn about burkhas before then, or new mosques for that matter.
I dont understand, what we are supposed to afraid of exactly, I want to know how it has a negative impact on our lives, do we run away screaming because we mistook them for Ninjas?
Ive been in mosque once to take shelter from the rain, did I come out convered to Islam? NO!
Did i have friendly non-regilious chat with a few Turkish guys? Yes!

@ All.

Our Goverments should worry about the real terroists, the economy, global warming, crime, people starving to death - maybe fix all that first, then you can start crying over the bloody Burkha.

I am so sick of this hysterical BS.

Islam is not taking over the world, but perhaps mindless stupidity is.
