Ah, that. Yes, I would -unusually - agree with you that it was very stupid.

Mostly because women covering their heads in any form just isn't worth the fight, not at this point. Let them wear what they want regardless of the motivation and focus on improving integration. If we win that battle, with time, the head covering will disappear.

All it does now is create conflict and get the Islamophobia cretins like Mehdi Hassan in an uproar.
