LOL. Now that you had your slippery slippery slope argument, could you please answer me this: how does a burqua ban protect burqua-wearers actually forced by men to wear it from being forbidden leaving home on foot?

Conversely, what if it is legally permitted to wear a burqua, but nobody does because doing so would invite a stoning from the Christians?

Good point. We have witnessed many Christian stonings of Muslims over the past couple of years. The trend is clearly worrying.
