This is what many people are saying but the reality to this is that if you are uncomfortable meeting a woman in a burqa, it is your problem - not the women wearing it. So why should she be forced by the law to not wear it because you are uncomfortable with it?

(That is not an attack at you directly, but rather using your comment to point out this issue)
