@redenchilada A burqa (Urdu: بُرقع) (Arabic pronunciation: [ˈbʊrqʊʕ, ˈbʊrqɑʕ] a (also transliterated burkha, bourkha, burka or burqu' from Arabic: برقع burquʻ or burqaʻ), also known as chadri or paranja in Central Asia) is an enveloping outer garment worn by women in some Islamic traditions to cover their bodies when in public.

@redenchilada That's not me being a smartass; I opted for the least potentially offensive answer
-
@tiffany So why are people asking for it banned?
-
@redenchilada because Islamophobia
-
@redenchilada It's the notion that just anyone could be hiding under one. A man, a woman, a terrorist, a gay, a crocodile, a gay crocodile, a gay crocodile terrorist, who knows what!! Somehow getting rid of the burqa would allow us to see who's a terrorist and who isn't
-
@tiffany So people are discriminating against gay crocodiles? That's stupid.
