But that's your interpretation of the Burkha. When you look at times in other countries where things like the Burkha have been banned or there's been talk of a ban, it's often Muslim women who are vocal in their opposition to the said ban. I don't really agree with banning a clothing item because of one interpretation of it.
As I said before, my only real view on the issue is that, like with all face obscuring clothes, they should be limited in areas where people need to be easily identified. I don't really see the merit of regulating clothing choice otherwise.
