Well.....I live in the same city Proud2BLib does, and before I retired, my office was downtown......I've NEVER in nine years living here seen a woman wearing a burqa......not at the malls, not in the suburbs, not in the urban core. Not once.....
I have seen black women wearing the Hijab, and some form of a "uniform" consisting of a light grey skirt (long), a white blouse buttoned to the neck, and "sensible shoes", however, I assume these are Muslims of the Louis Farakan variety.......
