Freedom Of or From Religion?
Should countries outlaw the hijab, niqab and burka?
Absolutely not. We the people have no right to force religion to adhere to a certain social code. So long as the outfit is worn voluntarily, it should be the individual choice of the woman.
More and more Muslims are immigrating into western nations with varying degrees of success.
Assimilation is eventual and inevitable to a degree. Only the extremists could pose problems and challenges for their hosts. The moderates are just like the rest of us.
I see Christianity and Islam as homophobic and misogynous religions and would vote for any measure that would reduce misogyny.
The majority opinion and belief will prevail.

Not in MY Courtroom!
This was an interesting recent development.
Quebec judge wouldn't hear case of woman wearing hijab
