This is a serious problem.

Several OAI leaders have already bailed.

Gary Johnson: Ban the Burqa

Reason.com interview of Gary Johnson by Nick Gillespie (excerpt):

     In a wide-ranging conversation, Johnson told me that one of his
chief concerns is the rise of sharia law around the world and the way he
believes it underwrites Islamic terrorism, which he says is a major
global problem and a rising threat here in America.

     Surprisingly for a libertarian, Johnson, who recently resigned as
the CEO of Cannabis Sativa, a marijuana marketing form, said that he
would sign a bill banning the wearing of burqas in America. Sharia, he
insisted, was not an expression of religion but of “politics” and hence
many of its practices could be banned or limited without running afoul
of the Constitution.

     “Under sharia law,” he argued, “women are not afforded the same
rights as men.” Under a burqa, how do you know if a woman has been
beaten?, he asked rhetorically. “Honor killings are allowed for under
sharia law and so is deceiving non-Muslims.” Likening followers of
sharia to members of the Ku Klux Klan, Johnson said that he wouldn’t
censor the speech of people promoting sharia law but would mount a
cultural campaign to counter its growth here. He said the Islamic
terrorism proceeds directly from the same sources as the thinking behind
sharia and that the United States government must make sure it is not
inadvertently funding sharia overseas."

By the way, he is wrong about Sharia.
