Edit: that being said. I don't like the idea of banning Burkas.
I'm all for banning forcing women to wear them, but if a woman wants to wear one on her own terms, then more power to her.

Just expressing my opinion, no need to get personal. Obviously a blanket ban on all forms of face covering might be unworkable, but the use of face covering in public demonstrations could be addressed with a more targetted law. As a previous poster stated: How do we determine if wearing of a burka is voluntary? I refuse to believe there are many women around that would volunteer to wear such an ugly garment.
