The burka is just a piece of cloth which if you think about it, could
be re-fashioned to cover your chest, buttocks, etc But the burka
covers the entire face except the eyes. So what so bad about that?
It's the same as Ninjas in ancient Japan. Then here is where we are
only seeing the tip of the iceberg. On the surface it looks innocent
enough, but below, it may hold dangerous ideologies or extremist
philosophies. It is no long just a piece of clothing but what does the
burka represent? What repercussions does it have on those who wear
them and to those who come into contact with them? Does it represent a
"separative" statement? Is a separative signal what the country wants?
Does the burka represent a repressive ideology in the modern society
of equality. In france, about 2,000 people wear the burka in a
population of over 60 million. I am more concern about extremist
elements that have hidden agendas and is only using the burka as an
excuse to further their own ends.
