They do have the right to wear that in America. If they want to deal with the heat, the lack of individuality, and the difficulty in communication it comes with, OK. Other people dress to suit religious teachings. Nuns, Mennonites, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Orthodox Jews, and some fundamentalist Christian women all have dress codes that are not our societal norm.

I very respectfully disagree. The crux is not whether the hijab is uncomfortable to the user. The crux is that the hijab is a symbol of a death cult that wants to destroy everything I hold dear, including myself and my family.

The hijab, and indeed all elements and symbols of islam as well as islam itself, has no place on this continent. Islam is the antithesis to the freedoms that we as Americans hold dear.

When our cold war with islam breaks out into a shooting war, and Americans are forced to defend themselves against acts of violence committed in the name of this death cult, those that support islam peripherally (like newspaper reporters who write puff pieces proclaiming the awesomeness of islam, like this one) will get what is coming to them, as they are our enemies also. Their subtext in appeasing islam is "Please muzzie, kill me last". Not only do I not respect a simpering, cowardly leftist who takes this stance, but I hold him as my mortal enemy in the battle against intolerant islam. The author of this piece is aiding the enemy in a time of war. That's treason.

Nuns, Mennonites, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Orthodox Jews, and some fundamentalist Christian women all have dress codes that are not our societal norm.
Perhaps no one has ever filled you in on a basic concept regarding survival, so I'll do it right now: None of those above-named groups of people have sworn to destroy us. Big difference. This is what happens when you use emotions rather than intellect to arrive at your conclusions.
