Are we being a bit TOO tolerant? It's ok to say a minority wear this but it only takes ONE person to plant a bomb & get away!! Not that ALL 'letterbox Ladies' will do this.
I think we should be asking WHY a woman would wish to hide herself away like this.
As far as I know there's nothing in the Quran about full face covering but about being 'modest' in clothing.
Problem is, that so much of 'practiced Islam' is NOT in the Quran. It can be difficult to filter out stuff added on later.
