A lot of people think that the muslim dress code, only applies to women.
In some countries of the islamic world, men are expected to cover themselves up, from the navel to their knees or even their arms up to the wrists. There are many different forms of clothing to satisfy the demands of
Hijab (to veil, to cover, etc), and it is all done to ensure that people dress in a modest fashion.
Getting back to the burqa, it's the most extreem version of Hijab and even the eyes get covered. I think that women should have are right to choose if they wear one or not.
