Sal. i personally don't like the burka as it has been used as a symbol of opression of women in other cultures.

In our society it has been argued that the women who adopt this dress voluntarily are adopting the ideal of modesty that to some extent has been ingrained in them by male religious authority (and no doubt by female authorities, too), but.....

they are doing so on their own terms!

Either way, as far as I'm aware, it is not against the law to wear one.
