Wasn't for those pilgrims who came first those later "founders" would have never brought the change they sought.edit on 7-5-2012 by neo96 because: (no reason given)
A Canadian Muslim group wants the federal government to ban two kinds of garments, the burka and the niqab, worn by some women.
The Muslim Canadian Congress said the garments, which cover the face, have no basis in Islam.
The group's spokesperson, Farzana Hassan, said the practice of wearing the burka and niqab is more rooted in Middle Eastern culture than in religious teachings. She added that there is nothing in the Qur'an that stipulates women must cover their faces.
She said the issue is one of public safety.
"To cover your face is to conceal your identity," she said.

RICHMOND, Va. (CBSDC/AP) — A woman dressed in a black burka was removed during President Obama’s inaugural re-election campaign stop at Virginia Commonwealth University Saturday.

You think someone wearing a burka is carrying a bomb? That is an racist stereotype. It is called modesty and not flaunting a hoochie mamma outfit across town to get pregnant at age 16 to collect welfare. Isn't that how things are going these days in the USA?
I call it extreme stupidity

Yes, as a woman i call covering your entire face&body, dumb, stupid, medieval and so on, you get the point.
No, it is not their religion it is an outdated custom, having to do with life in a desert and shielding yourself from sand, nowadays implemented by radical, weak men in order to make women invisible, non existent and not worthy.
Your comparison with USA blows my mind because you make it seem like it´s either covering yourself all the way or getting pregnant at 15 so either you don´t have sufficient knowledge on the subject or you are BS us. Why don´t you cover yourself up and practice what you preach.
