I remember reading a story where a few moderate Muslim leaders stated that nowhere in the Qu'ran does it say that a woman must cover her face. Rather, it is a construct of the male dominated leadership. The entire point of a burka is to dehumanize a woman. She becomes property, not a person.
Strikes me as rather ironic that people will get so angry at the bigotry of one group, such to the point that they will defend the bigotry of another.
And lets face it, if we all went in to vote wearing balaclavas, refusing to remove them, we will not be handed our ballot.

i totally agree, the complaint isnt racist IMO, but the people who were doing the complaining were motivated by their intolerance for people who are different...
