Sounds like you could become governor of Arizona.

Sounds like you should listen to what the guy in the video Mr. Progfreak posted has to say

One thing that has a lot of people still pissed here in Canada  is that the East Indians who join the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are permitted to wear turbans. Th RCMP is full of tradition and the uniform reflects that. I had a friend who was pulled over for speeding by an officer wearing a turban and he refused to co-operate until an officer was sent wearing the proper uniform. So they actually sent another cruiser with an officer with the proper uniform and he got his speeding ticket. There is also provisions in the Canadian Forces for them to wear tubans as part of the uniform. Well there's my take on all this.

What sh*t exactly are they pushing on us? The decision for them to personally wear a type of headdress that they chose while taking no position on what anybody besides their individual self should wear?

Oh yeah look at them push their culture on us. Why can't they learn how to properly and respectfully conform to other's cultures like us Westerners. The pilgrims and the Indians, they knew how to respect each other's culture.

And just so know this exists for criminals to rob armored cars (lol) and is perfectly legal:

Sadly I would like for people to dress as they want to, but the problem with the burka is that is perfect for concealing a terrorist and his/her weapons.  Are there not a sufficient number of countries that will allow or even require you to wear one if you're a woman?

I'm pretty sure terrorists would prefer trench coats, not something that greatly restricts peripheral vision.

And we're supposed to defend their right to do so... Go figure.

So you assume.  You didn't read the article I posted apparently.

Well something good has come out of all this. It changes my halloween costume plans for this year. Originally I was going to go as Herman Munster and my wife was going to go as Lilly Munster. But I've changed my mind. I'll dress up in a burqa and be the woman and my wife can dress up as the arab man. Bit of a problem though. I'm 6 foot 3 and my wife is only 5 foot 7. It's going to look a bit strange but hey it's halloween everybody looks a bit strange on halloween.

France shouldn't disappoint. Also, the fact that women in Muslim countries have other, more important, issues does not concern the situation in France, simply because those issue don't exist in France.
