Who cares if is isnt strictly speaking a religious requirement. Neither is wearing a crucifix for Christians, neither is wearing the kippah for Jews, yet they are entitled to wear them, and Muslims are entitled to wear the burqa.

I think banning the burka in a few school isn't really going to increase a terrorism threat. Come on. They can feel offended all they want, but most Muslims probably wouldn't be offended by it. The Media are Muslims worst enemy when it comes to think they this. Reporting on one over excited girl that feels 'offended', I'm sure most would just tell her to get over herself.
