I work with a lovely muslim girl, she wears a burque but not over her face, just her head? Is that the same thing?

If so can't the law just be adjusted to not having it cover your face, but over your head ect is fine? Seems like it would solve a few problems ...

Thats just a headscarf and something the average granny would suit. That isn't what would be banned. Burka specifically covers the entire person witht eh eyes being the exception.

The differences are, this conceals a persons identity, headscarfs don't.

SEECE :

the law absolutely NOT concern people wearing her head clothe. It only concerns people wearing a clothe covering their full face (burqa) OR covering their full face but their eyes (niqab)

The classic "head clothe" (even the "heavy"one) is not targetted.

you can still wear everything you want at home but no burqa/niqab on street or in public place.
