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.

How is the burka/niqab dangerous to women? And where does this end? If girls and women wear 'inappropriate clothing', can that not dangerous to them? Who are we to say what is dangerous clothing to women or men or anyone? Let's say a grown person chooses to wear a covering of his or her own volition. Why should the government tell him or her not to?

I don't like seeing people wearing certain things. I don't like my kids seeing certain items of clothing on people in public places. But that's part of life in a democratic society.[/quote]

How is it actually dangerous to women? It prohibits them from working, from participating in society. Either voluntarily or involuntarily, it segregates those women. [/quote]
