The U.S. is trying to "prove" to the muslims that Americans are not against the muslims, . . . .problem : the muslims don't care, . . .they still hate the U.S. and every nation that does not submit to islam.

We can all try to be nice and show the muslims that we do have anything against muslims or islam.

However the koran commands the muslims to wage war on anyone who does not submit to islam.

Therefore, not banning a cloth garment will do nothing.

It is only by showing the islamists that we are not afraid and showing them harsh justice when they attack us, that we will be safe.

Well at least for a while.
