The policy here is complete freedom to dress any way you want and not to impose on religion - unless maybe if they start to set up Sharia Law for their neighborhood.
Actually, I hold that this "let them wear a full body bag if they want to" is the best, the most moral, policy. In Chicago the women who only show their eyes and their hands seem to be a very tiny minority. You are free to avert your eyes from them, thus giving them no recognition.

It is true that a terrorist strapped with bombs and a detonator may wear, for a disguise, a full-length burka; but to be filled with fearfulness that this may happen at any moment it is not a moral way to live.
It is better to live courageously and hopefully. Be an optimist! Seek out the good. Let's put our emphasis on what is going well. Let's look forward to a brighter future -- and work to make it happen
