Our system of government is based on democracy, one of the founding concepts being freedom of speech, and tolerance, meaning we can be a part of any religion we choose. If that involves wearing a burkha, why not? I don’t really see how a burkha challenges democracy, which simply means ‘people power’ (demos, kratos) but what I do object to is Christians not being allowed to wear a crucifix to work. There should be one rule for all: equality. As for ‘super churches’, there are many Churches in Islamic countries, such as Lebanon and Israel, places which many Christians pilgramige to and have so far not been ‘blown up’. Furthermore, you say this is a Christian country. Firstly, Christianity preaches agapistic love – help everyone, tolerate everyone. Secondly, it’s completely irrelevant anyway since religion and politics are not actually allowed to mix.
