Reader comment on item: Niqabs and Burqas as Security Threats
in response to reader comment: No one is stopping anyone
Submitted by jkman (United States), Jan 2, 2009 at 02:09
That's fine. I don't think most of us have problems w/ them wearing those burqa's in their own country. It's their way of life. We have a problem w/ them coming to America and wanting to pose for their drivers license picture in their burqa. There are a lot of security risks associated w/ that practice. Especially in America.
