Your too-simplistic condemnation of wearing the burqa or niqab helps to promote intolerance. If a woman freely chooses to wear something, whether it is a bikini or a body suit or a burka, it is not our place, quite frankly, to approve of or condemn her actions. If someone is forced to do something as a result of oppression, say someone telling a woman she cannot wear some piece of clothing, that is wrong. You are assuming motive without actually listening to the women who are making this choice, and that flies in the face of our Canadian and Charter values.
