i've not read all the posts, so not sure if this has been stated here already, but it's important to note that the burqa is not dictated by islam at all. it's purely a cultural thing and is by choice. if that choice is enforced upon them by their husbands, then they need a marriage councilor not a ban.The Quran states that men and women should dress modestly and not flaunt themselves about.
There are more specific dress codes for when a person is in the state of prayer, but neither the burqa, niqab, nor hijab are explicitly detailed anywhere as strict day to day attire.
i think we're all aware of the underlying issues that spark this sort of ban. in essence it's completely stupid. if someone wants to cover their face, legs, arms, head, hands, whatever it may be, they can go right ahead and do it. civil liberties.
