What happened to my post?
I was saying that I can't even walk into a public library with a baseball cap or a hoodie on.
But head to toe ninja gear robes is okay?

No they shouldn't.

People who live here have freedoms to wear whatever they want just like the rest of us. Why should burqas and similar attire be outlawed? Because it's associated with the Middle East?

That'll be just like banning French Berets because France didn't want to go on some wild goose chase years ago when we invaded Iraq and Afghan for no other reason than to sate Bush's blood lust. ><;;

A very smart man once said, "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." It holds so true today, as it did then.
