[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I object to the burkas with the face covered.  The rest, I don't care for it, but I don't object.[/quote]

Not pp, but this is the perspective of most moderate Muslims I know (I'm the pp who was raised Muslim). There is a MAJOR difference between hijab and headscarves, and a face covering. Many Muslims themselves oppose the burqa and other such coverings, and support a ban on them. But are indifferent or more "to each their own" with regards to headscarves. [/quote]

I think you can object to something but still recognize the right of an individual to choose to wear it.  I object to a lot of stupid t-shirts I see people wearing, but I don't see why I have the right to tell someone what to wear. And I also agree with the majority opinion that the burka/niqab are NOT actually mandated by Islam, but I still believe that women should have the right to wear them regardless.[/quote]

Sure you can object to something but support the right of an individual to wear it. But still, I (and others from a moderate Muslim upbringing) see the burka/niqab as actually dangerous to women. Interestingly, the people I know who most *favor* a ban are Muslim women themselves. A lot of Muslim men are more "to each their own," but it's something that doesn't ever affect their gender.
