Is really all that matters from the OP, if a woman freely choses to dress as she does. And sure people are free to pass comment -as they always will- about others appearance, but at the end of the day it comes down to your character as to what type of comment you will pass. I think the comments by Boris reflect poorly on his character.
Yes ... you would. Then again, your political bias might tempt you to call him 'racist' if he bought an ice cream cone with a colour of ice cream not to your liking.

You say he chose his words 'poorly' .. so, imagine yourself to be Boris J for a moment. You want to make a point, and you want to choose your words WELL. So. What words would YOU have used ?

But in any case, ARE we free to walk around exactly as we want ? Women wearing burkhas hide their identity. Yes, they DO look like bank robbers ! If I wanted to rob a bank, wearing a burkha would be an excellent precaution against getting caught.

That's aside from the cultural issue ... insisting that one's beliefs and persuasions are shoved down everyone's throats, in total disrespect of the culture you live in !!

Nobody has total freedom to wear what they want. Try walking in the street, naked from the waist down. Or, try wearing a Nazi uniform outside a synagogue. See ?

Fact is that you're choosing to oppose Boris, because you're specifically favouring the particular headdress he referred to, and all it represents. How very 'PC' of you.

There are times, Noir, when a stand MUST be made. Sheer decency demands it.
