I dont see how this is racist against Muslims.
Islam is a religion and not a race
The Burqua is a tribal custom not an Islamic one

...well, obviously, the only fair and reasonable thing to do is ban ALL clothing... jewelry, hats and shoes will still be permissable and purses but not those fanny pack thangs...

Good for them.
I think its great they are banning the burka, atleast in public.
When I walk down the street i wanna see smiles, I want to see expressions, character.
Not distressed looking eyes in the slit of a hood.
Wearing the burka has more negative impact for relations, than removing it.
People are suspicous if they cant see your face. People are afraid of whats different, and in the western world we show our faces.

Distressed looking eyes? Are you kidding me things are not this simple, is it alright for a person to wear a cross around there necks? Or what about a priest in his clothes or nuns. I think you might be have a hard time seeing the truth past whatever walls you have put up. We should live and let live as long as no one is taking aways some one's rights I say more power to them.

: Look people. This stuff has gone far enough. Look what is happening in this world. Freedom of religion and expression is being attacked. Personally, I deplore religion because I feel that it is a disease very much like syphilis. It goes through your system and begins to shut down neurological centers, especially the thought feature that we refer to as critical analysis. But, taking away other people's freedoms are just another step to take away ours. Plus, we can't keep pushing our Muslim brothers. And yes, I do say brothers. They eat like we do, sleep like we do, have sex to procreate, and get married and live miserably like the rest of us. They are flesh and blood and deserve to be treated with respect. The same respect that you deserve from anyone else. Extend some love people. "

I am not refering it to being a racist issue or a religion issue. What I am saying is in GENERAL our FREEDOM to dress the way we want to is being attacked. It is the start of our freedom being taken away and this is not good. NO matter who ya are what the heck is a burka any different form a a big scarf wrapped around your head and face protecting you from the cold?

Well stated. It really won't be until more of American rights and freedoms are infringed upon before people understand how bad things are getting.
Its only until after something affects us directly to we decide to take offense.

There is no loss of European Identity because there never WAS one. No one of the people considers themself 'European' unless someone askes what continent are you from. Its like someone saying, where are you from? "North America". We have individual identities, I mean I often say Scandinavian and a lot of us do, but its a bit different because were all so similar and its regional, not so broad as 'European'.
The whole point of the NWO (off topic?) is to CREATE union identity, "we're not Norsk/French/German/Irish/Portuguese, we're European!" and the next step to remove even THAT distinction. I see status quo as both a good and a bad thing, there should be no extreme either way.
