Burqa not the issue, the totaliltarian ideology is the problem.

The "religion" of islam was birthed by a murderous fanatic who set out wide range cruel rules for everyone.

Every aspect of a person life is controled: when they pray, direction of prayer,style of dress, which foot to use when entering and leaving a washroom, and who not to be friends with ( Jews and Christians).

There is no choice in islam.

All actions and reactions are controled by the koran and those imans who today are enforcing the rules.

This is islam, and this is the problem. The style of dress is not the problem, but rather is just the koran in regular use.
