I find this amazing right - if people wearing a headscarf are being IDd for something (for travel is my favourite example) I've seen stories (not sure if widespread or just the odd occasion) that they can't be forced to remove them even in private so how can you like get that??

I hardly ever saw anyone wearing a full burqa in my childhood/university years but I see women wearing them regularly in London now, it doesn't make me feel uncomfortable really but I understand why some people are a little freaked out or threatened by them?
Tell me when the God-loving Bob from Texas throws acid at her daughter for not wearing a veil - which is not even required (or from what I know even in the Bible). Same applies with Hinduism.

Islam is by far the most barbaric religion.
