I think it shows a great sign of respect, not only for themselves, but for their husbands/family, and for their religion.

Yous say it draws attention to them - well, should we ban women from wearing revealing clothes? That draws attention to them. What about banning people from wearing them bright colours tracksuit?

And this is what France did. No religion sign in public places, ALL religions. I think it's fair to everyone in a country which gave birth to laicity (Separation of church and state)
However, the Burka wasn't banned as it wasn't as big as today. It created a lot of drama, a lot of controversy, incidents and riots but the French government made it. And this is why Ben Laden wants to attack us. Sorry buddy, we had the balls to do it and to stand out against you.
