I am a Muslim and here are my 2 cents.
Although i am sure most anti burqa are bigots and more likely racists, as they demonstrate it here everyday....I have to admit 2 things:
1 covering the face is not mandatory in islam.
2 I am not for it but i support everyone to dress as they please. As long as their face is shown.
But let me ask this....why dont we make wearing masks illegal, sunglasses, hats, hoodies and all other things that prevent us from recognizing a person?
You think Denmark is bigot for banning Burka?
But Muslim countries are not bigoted for executing rape victims?
Right... makes sense.
There are 56 Muslim countries...when you say "muslims countries execute rapists"...you lied. I let you google it and tell us how many or the 56 countries use that punishment.
Heck here in the US hundreds get shot and killed for cheating on their significant others.
Now, defending women executions...
If you prefer those countries, perhaps it's time to go back? If you didn't notice the line to this country and Denmark is full, while to Muslim countries... empty. That bigotry might have something to do with it.
Here are some facts regarding Saudi Arabia, possibly one of your favorites:
Women need their guardian's permission for:

- Employment
- Opening a bank account
- Elective surgery, particularly when sexual in nature
But at least just this year, women can finally drive.
