No one said I am going to agree with your beliefs fully though.

it is an infringement on religious freedom to ban it.

Well you invoked "freedom of religion", feminists don't have to defend freedom of religion or Islam at first place, a misogynistic religion. Your silly argument could also be applied to FGM, which makes your point preposterous at first place. Islam doesn't mandate the burqa at first place.

I don't have beliefs I have principles. And complaining about "religious freedom" is the least of my worries. Nobody has prevented muslims from believing in Allah in Germany. No religious freedom has been violated.

I mean, you can always take of a burqua, you cant undo FGM, its not the same.

And all principles are beliefs.

Principles aren't beliefs. Beliefs implies faith, principles do not. Both the burqa and FGM are barbaric and as a feminist I don't have to defend freedom of religion over the fight against misoginy. The Burqa isn't even a religious garment, it's misogynistic and barbaric and should be banned just like FGM.

So you have the belief that your principals are more than beliefs.

Look up the definition of words, maybe it will help you in life, going forward, you'll sleep smarter.
