There are cases where some women have never worn any form of dress/burkha whilst here, but then started wearing it later. if it was that strict they would have been wearing it before now.
as you say we are expected to respect their laws and even customs. so if you come here then you should think about our laws.
they didn't have to at the time of entry because we allowed it. but if it does become a requirement in time. then they will have to consider whether they want to enter or not.
we could have all seperate incidents where a 'foreigner' will not have to follow our laws because of where they originally came from. which means that all laws in this country only apply depending on who you are or where your second home is.
