Why not explain, what is it about our culture that means that the burqa is out of place? Why is it that, in a 21st century, secular and mulitcultural society, our so-called "culture" dictates that a woman cannot wear a religious garment out of her own free will?

Talk about allowing terroists to dictate through fear and intimidation!

Wow, that's ironic! You seriously think that allowing someone to wear the burqa is "allowing terrorists to dictate through fear and intimidation"?! It is banning the burqa that shows a country is being dictated by fear of terrorism if we are so paranoid that we instantly suspect anyone covering their face is a suicide bomber.
As I said, burqa wearers are a tiny minority within a minority, stop getting so worked up over something that is hardly a prominent figure in society
