Meanwhile, the Bosnia community was openly welcomed in to St. Louis and actually moved more towards education, secularism and separation of church and state because they weren't met with the kind of intolerance that would force them to defend themselves and entrench them in nationalism.
Exactly. People don't realize that approaching these communities with hostility only pushes them cling to their values and traditions even stronger, as a defense mechanism

If they weren't willing to conform to certain principles of Western society, then they shouldn't have come. It's not like these people were chained and dragged here on boats.
I honestly can never understand the people who continue defending the burqa/nikab
They are the people who claim freedom of religion!!!11 but these same people call themselves feminists . They are a walking contradiction.
I have a lot of Muslim friends and ALL OF THEM are against the burqa. Even in (more progressive) Islamic countries it is deemed as an object of oppression against womenl
If you have the market, create outdoor banks or whatever where you can service burqa-wearing women with no concerns. This is no different than the whole "keep trans women out of the bathrooms on the off-chance that one woman might molest a girl" thought process.
And why are we celebrating a country losing the right of religious liberty?
I'll never understand why feminists and liberals constantly defend the oppression of women via the burqa, yet condemn Christians as the ultimate misogynists for defending an unborn child's right to life
The legislation, which still needs to be passed by the senate, bans the veils in settings where identifying the wearer is considered essential, such as in government buildings, on public transport, at schools and in hospitals."
This is an important note. It won't be banned all round. I'm here for this.
I've worn a burqa before just to try it and it was so uncomfortable.
I welcome this ban. They better not try it with the hijab though.

I find this disgusting. Innocent women and children are currently being bombed the **** out of in Aleppo and you want people that aren't even from there to "go back" there?
. They are a walking contradiction.
