Good. The burqa hampers vision and movement, interferes with vitamin D production, complicates simple things like eating, makes its wearers targets of widespread prejudice, poses a security risk, looks utterly shit, and doesn't even have a basis in Islamic scripture.https://twitter.com/Independent/status/916288076032479232 …
So basically, let decisions on what women can wear be made by their husbands and imams. Gotcha.

Of course women should be allowed to wear what they want. That's not out disagreement. Our disagreement is in how to implement this. If the government doesn't ban burqas, conservative Muslim men will continue to force women to wear them, even in Western countries.
