The burqa is not an Islamic religious symbol. It is a symbol of extreme misogyny. The women compelled, or brain washed into wearing burkas are already facing unbelievable levels of discrimination in their families and communities. And now racism and xenophobia in Quebec has made their lives worse. Now some bus driver can deny a woman a bus ride, because she is wearing a burka. How long will it take for an another rider on that bus to insist that the driver not allow a woman wearing a burka to ride the bus. How long will it take before someone assaults a women trying to forcibly remove her burka. Don’t get me wrong, I intensely dislike the burka: The only thing like less than the burka is racist laws that tell someone who they should dress. Don’t be surprised if Donald Trump tweets a message of solidarity with Quebec’s new law. That’s right Quebecers, with this law, you are in the same league as Donald Trump.
