I support a muslim's right to wear a burqa, even though I feel there is a huge amount of baggage about why they wear it, or be unwittingly repressed into doing so - in the end it is their business. I thank god that I am not a muslim. I don't hold with the state getting involved in an outright ban. I believe that the french ban has NOT helped a single french woman mentally feel that she is legally now unshackled from wearing an unwanted garment. I am 60/40 inclined as per woman -vs- state.
