Comment: I'd like to see some studies on the oppression of women wearing face coverings, and incidents in Afghanistan where terrorists wore them. If these women truly are proven to be free of abuse and oppression and no terrorists have ever posed in them (NOT!) maybe it could be dropped, >Otherwise, authorities need such a law on the books, for use in appropriate circumstances such as emergencies, suspicious circumstances, to fight abuse, etc.

I believe it was Oprah who introduced modern nations to the Afghan use of the burka when she showed footage of women under blue coverings being herded like animals and beaten with sticks, in the streets of Kabul, circa 2001. Who could want this sickness anywhere?
