More on the Burka ban

I've been following this story closely because it's producing some surprising articles and opinions from unlikely places.

This from The Herald Scotland is an interview with former Pakistani cricketer/politician Imran Khan which smacks of a press release. The story is interesting because it doesn't touch on any of Khan's controversial past which is constant tabloid news and instead has a steady flow of thought provoking and articulate quotes, including this one;

“People are allowed to take off their clothes and walk around virtually naked. And yet people who cover themselves don’t seem to have that freedom,” he told crowds in Glasgow.

From Canada's Globe and Mail comes this op-ed about a French business man offering to pay government imposed Burka fines, while based on a potentially interesting story bout a powerful man flouting the law, doesn't even form proper rhetoric and relies on general statements that are not supported by fact or authoritative opinion.
