If you have a point, make it. I never follow your links. I'm at a library computer and I can't watch videos.
Are you saying that somebody set fire to a Muslim school in Canada and that the school officials didn't let the girls out without their hijabs? I must have missed the news that day.

Should countries outlaw the hijab, niqab and burka?
No. You like to talk about Canada so you should know that wearing these is a protected right.
Canada has not had a lot of problems to date. A few Honor killings when the young have refused to dress in the traditional way. I think that I would vote with the vast majority just to end Canadian Honor killings.
Murder is already illegal in Canada even when it's honor killings. Here's a good example : Shafia family murders
I also see this as a safety issue in the sense that in a nation where so many do a lot of driving, to add blind spots caused by head and face wear seems like a poor idea.
Do you totally ban alcohol or do you ban drunk driving? What about banning driving when you can't see around you. No need to target a religious group for that.
To be frank though, I see Christianity and Islam as homophobic and misogynous religions
Seeing your posting history here, we already knew that.

Quebec is not a very good representation of Canada. They've even tried to leave Canada (and currently still try) at varying levels recently and throughout history.
Since the majority voted against it twice and the current level of support is under 40%, please don't include us all in your definition of Quebec. I certainly don't fall into that category.

This is what inaction might just do and if you count the Honor killings that Canada has already tolerated,
What honour killings have been tolerated by Canada?

They ticket for cellphones as dangerous and head and face apparel that creates blind spots are also dangerous to the public.
Canadian culture and values are the men and women are equal. That is not the Islamic way and for us to allow the oppression of women is not the Canadian way.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

You don't liberate women by telling them what to wear, whether you are the state or the mosque.

Pajama Bottoms at the bottom of the style barrel
Are the large majority in Canada and elsewhere who would outlaw the hijab, niqab and burka wrong?
The large majority has spoken, and they elected Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister Trudeau II, a liberal following in his father's footsteps. Pierre was PM during the Quebecois succession movement. Fun Fact: Justin was born on 25 December ...
So the repressive policies of the Harper Fascist government will end. And with it I expect the persecution of Muslims as well.
Now ... IF there were anything I would like to see laws against it would be the wearing of pajama bottoms in public as if it were normal clothing.
It just looks like you were too lazy to do your laundry when you got up this morning.
Underwear would be preferable.
Enjoy.

I don't believe Ringo has ever claimed a gender. S/he has had male actors/gunslingers as photos also, not just Sharon Stone.
