Such a law violates both freedom of speech and freedom of religion. So no, I would not favor such a law.

No, it shouldn't be banned but requirements to show your face for a drivers license or so a police officer can identify you is, in my opinion, reasonable.
A very black and white answer for a very black and white world in which we don't live.
Your answer would be fine if every woman under a burqa were wearing one out of free choice, but they're not. Many are under a burqa because of force, or fear of the consequences if they don't tow the line. Many live in communities where rejection by family and community would be too hard to bear, hence they do as they feel they should so as not to be cast out, stigmatised or punished. Yes there will always be some exceptoin to the rule the Sunday papers who says she loves living under a curtain and she chose it, but they're far from the majority. Let's cut this crap that most burqua wearing women are free thinking feminists who've chosen to live covered - that argument sinks like a stone. And let's be frank about what wanting to keep wives and daughters under such subjugation really says about how much you value women as equals. Certain civil freedoms quite rightly take priority over a supposed religious freedom such as this one.
Doubtless as ever on DP, the usual French bashers, relying on Fox news and having never set foot on French soil, will crawl out of the woodwork here. All I can say is that as somebody who isn't French but lives in France, most women and most muslims (of both sexes) here welcome this ban. A few mullahs will scream injustice, but they're not representative of the majority.
Tomorrow France's Burqa Ban law goes into effect, would you be in favor of a similar law here in the United States?

Well none of us is allowed to ear whatever the hell we want. None of us.i would not favor a law that violates freedom of religion and freedom of speech.
does anyone really believe honestly, that the majority of people who applaud a move like this care about women's rights? the fact is that this law would deny women the right to choose what they wear, and that is every bit as wrong as men denying women the right to choose what they wear.
Great postJust like the taliban controlling afghanistan before we went in would beat women in the street with a stick for dropping their veils or wearing what THEY considered inappropriate attire. Many women would throw that miserable uncomfortable thing away in a flash if the men would allow it.
