It's an issue because people make it one. Any law would be utterly unworkable, illiberal and ultimately counterproductive.

As I have attempted to show, fashions change. 'Islamic' fashions change too. They will change again - especially if they are not made into issues central to identity.
Do you honestly think the burka is just some new fashion and nothing else?
