Reader comment on item: Niqabs and Burqas as Security Threats
in response to reader comment: Ban it

Submitted by Joe Kaffir (United States), Mar 21, 2008 at 22:00

Birka....chardor......jelava....abaya.....jilbab.....hejab...niqab.....shishkabab.....

Ban them all! They are a curse on all human beings. They are an imposition and a threat to our freedoms. First they are foisted upon women and then thrusted in our faces with out our consent. They make old women out of young girls. They are a clear and present danger.

Just say NO !
