If you think about it this is how it is for most things we believe. It is very few things that we discover by ourselves. Most things we learn from family, school and society.
Yes Sotos ... but we are given an abundance of freedom to express ourselves without fear of being shot or imprisoned if we do not "choose" a particular item!
Most things we pick up from peers ... but if we get it wrong .... we can still live! We might be laughed at for wearing bell-bottom jeans instead of drainpipes ... but it's not a matter of life or death!
Yes in Europe it is not a matter of life or death because we don't have the death penalty. But you can be put in jail and have consequences from society if your don't follow the rules. Try walking naked in the supermarket tomorrow and count how much time it will take until you get arrested The difference is really on how much of your body a society allows you to show in public. Some allow more some allow less. Freedom is not an option anywhere. There are society rules everywhere.
Of course there are rules we all have to follow. But Sotos, those rules are usually there to protect the weak in society!
Banning the Burka is like banning an EXTREME. Just as we do not tolerate full nudity in public, so too for this torturous garment.
