Are Muslims really trying to take over, or are some people just suffering from Islamaphobia?

I just cannot bring myself to agree with this.  If you're going to make the argument that burkas are demeaning to women, I'd be a bit more sympathetic, even if I don't agree with banning them outright.  But just to say that they need to conform for conformity's sake... well, you should know me well enough by now to know that that's not something I find to be a very compelling reason.  People are individuals, not their place of living.  And while I agree they should be expected to adopt the laws of their new home, it's just silly to expect them to completely alter themselves for the sake of your level of comfort.
