BLACK VEIL

May be it is relevant to discuss the burqa ban in India similar to that which some western countries have implemented/contemplating.
It is a practical solution to overcome more than likely security threats posed by terrorists engaged in clandestine activities hidden behind a black veil. The scare on a recent domestic flight to Kolkata is a case in point.
Though the arm chair human rights activists (mostly exploiting dollar denominated NGO sector) will have some stupid objections to this 'REAL' security threat.
Let practicing 'Musalmans' exercise their choice to cover or uncover their bodies in private space since their religion is abused to instigate terror around the world.
Tenets of Islam are misinterpreted by a vested minority to unleash monsters in society but the majority of the Prophet’s followers accept this abuse without protest. Logical consequence of this is that they accept to suffer restrictions in public space for protecting innocent citizens.
The other alternative (though impractical) is to push such Muslims to live within gated communities free to practice the rigidities of their religion fully covered or uncovered??
