Now the burka is banned... by ISIS!

ISIS has outlawed the burka at their security centres in a northern Iraqi city, despite previously brutally enforcing a law requiring them to be worn.
The terror group have banned women entering the buildings in Mosul while wearing the full-face covering after a number of commanders were killed by veiled women.
Previously women in Syria and Iraq have been beaten or even killed by ISIS's 'morality police' for not wearing a veil to conceal their body and eyes.

Should non-Muslims be allowed to wear burkas or the nijab? I would think that doing so would be cultural appropriation. The best bet is to ban all non-Muslims from wearing any kind of Muslim covering, including burkas, hijabs, turbans, etc. Since Muslims are an oppressed and traditionally marginalized group, they should be able to wear whatever they want, except where their marginalized culture says otherwise.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

People who wear jeans are engaging in the cultural appropriation of cowboys.
