Full-body covers threaten safety
Reader comment on item: Philadelphia's Burqa Crisis
Submitted by Mareli (United States), Feb 25, 2013 at 22:46
Have there been any instances wherein a man wearing a chador or burka has assaulted women in public restrooms? It would seem that this COULD be a security problem, but don't know if this has actually happened yet.
