I know that sounds prejudiced and extreme. I am neither, but it is too easy, in today's troubled times, for terrorists to use such clothing as a disguise. It is illegal, in New York, to wear a mask while walking on the street.

This happened in Afghanistan by the Taliban.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/23/wo...it_ae_20120622

. . . what appeared to be seven Afghan women in characteristic head-to-toe blue burqas piled out (of a minivan).

Throwing off the burqas, the women turned out to be male insurgents, bristling with weapons and wearing bulky suicide vests packed with explosives. They raced into the hotel . . .


This just seems like the obvious thing to do by bad people. Why do we take such chances?

These people stormed into a hotel, went into the restaurant, and went table to table, shooting every male. The article implies that they were looking for foreign guests and prostitutes, but found none, although people were drinking alcohol.

God help the families of these dead men.
Such mindless destruction, such evil.

Outlawing a certain type of clothing no matter how crazy it may be is un-american besides all the typical stupid talking points.
About as crazy as those who want to control what people eat.

It sounds about as intellegent as the law they passed in Quebec. You can not get any government services if you are wearing a veil. No license, no welfare, no healthcare and so on. In the whole freakin province there are about 50 women who wear them. LOL. What a bunch of idiots they have for a government.

Now, there are about 10,000 freakin nuns walking around Quebec and if they don't look scary in their vampire getups nobody does.
