There are religions that believe nudity to be quite natural but their freedom is curtailed. People wearing swastikas is illegal in some countries. The burka is illegal in Turkey and Tunisia because it is political just as the swastika is political.<BR/>Why should be people be allowed to walk around like crooks when the threat of terrorsim is so grave? <BR/>Besides the burqa is a symbol of oppression. If a law is made to ban it then women would not be obliged to wear it because their husbands, family or 'religious police' imposed it.Daphnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190101428007352726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18600181.post-40070325337655759492008-09-10T15:06:00.000-07:002008-09-10T15:06:00.000-07:00so in the democracies of the west we now believe i...so in the democracies of the west we now believe in curtailing peoples freedoms to wear what they choose.<BR/><BR/>so much for modern and progressive.<BR/><BR/>except:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/features/a-closer-look-at-the-iconic-headscarf-744337.html" REL="nofollow"> link</A>wendy mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10784977378793236503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18600181.post-75607045457355234422008-09-10T10:14:00.000-07:002008-09-10T10:14:00.000-07:00It never occurred to me (in the USA) that burkas w...It never occurred to me (in the USA) that burkas were even allowed in schools.
