From open values to burqa bans: have Europeans lost the habit of tolerance?

[444719abcx]

The burqa ban is actually in phase with modernity. Burqa is from the middle age and completely inadequate and unpractical in today's living environment. How can those muslim women be so stupid in not even seeing this fact, plus the fact that wearing this rag does not fit the foreign environment they have chosen to live in. If I should go to an Arab country, my wife would have to wear the bloody rag so as not to "shock" locals....Same here in Europe, where they have to take it off to fit in..!

Interesting discussion. I think the woman from the audience who said that the problem was ignorance probably summed it up.
