Ban the Burqa

I couldn't agree more with this entire article. The world, as a whole, is very tired of exceptions being made for Muslims, including but not limited to these articles of disguise...and that is what they are - disguises. I never see a woman in a burqa or a niqab but what I think of her as someone who is held in absolute bondage. I don't see this as a religious article but an article indicating slavery just as chains would have on a black person just a few generations ago. Stop with the nonsense. Ban the burqa and the niqab and let them breathe.
