It looked like so many other topical chain email messages I've deleted that I figured it for Snopes bait.
Many of these start as a bit of factual core and get piled up into a statement piece for someone's agenda. This one is less pointedly anti-FITB than most I see.

So you believe that America must accommodate every emigre? Well in that case I'll have single payer thank you. They really are making similar demands here in Maryland, we even have one who drives wearing a bourka.

No, just Quebec.

To repeat, Rob, IT WAS A FAKE . Nobody demanded that pork be removed from the school menu or any other menu.... anywhere.

Really? Got evidence? Then why didn't you mention that one instead of a 2 year old internet hoax?

Actually, it was a niqab which doesn't cover the eyes, not a burqa which does. And she was ticketed so it's probaby only true to say that she drove wearing a niqab.

Actually it was a bourka I saw her at the Leisure World mall on Georgia Ave. The image may be planted still in my memory but no way to post a link.

Regardless, it's illegal and there is no campaign to change that. You can't take one person's idiotic decision and declare it a "movement".

Look John if you love them so much you can have them all. A cousin here in the states sent me that item and I had no reason to doubt her, guess maybe she has had the same experience with them as we have.

I did work with an Iranian lady but if she was a follower of islam you sure as hell could not tell from the way she dressed. She was drop dead gorgeous and not afraid to show it. We became rather close and she looked upon me as a big brother and would come to me with her troubles. Wonder where she is now?
