I don't care what people want to wear. The only reason I would care for them to remove it is if it's for identity purposes (photo ID) or respect for a certain venue/event (like taking your hat off at church if asked). Kind of hard to promote freedom of expression when you are forced to dress a certain way.

I think people automatically associated burqas with terrorism or oppression towards women. Like Igottago said, I don't see anyone getting all up in arms if a nun wears her outfit at the lake. But as soon as a muslim woman wears her burqa at a beach, even if it's 100% her own choice, its automatically assumed she's being forced to by her terrorist husband.
