thelorax,
  It's always nice to hear one acknowledge their own bias. We all have them of course. I don't like the niqab or the burka and hope that all women stop wearing them of their own accord. I see them as misogynistic too, but what matters is how the wearer feels about the garment. I'll protect anyone seeking to remove it. It is widely known that by the third generation, the virtues of Canadian culture tend to erode away some of the less 'desirable' (for lack of a better word, my bias too of course) culture traditions brought from the homeland and our more secular, egalitarian values take root. I say let time and nature take its course and this 'problem' will eventually solve itself without the force of law. In fact, I believe the law will only further entrench these minorities in their traditions. Did oppression ever really bring an end to Judaism? Thankfully not. As for standards around nudity, those are changing too but don't think its ever been made a religious issue...yet.
