I can't remember where I read that but its so true.

I'm split on this; on one side It is used to demote women to second class citizens. On the other, if it is worn willingly by a woman doing what she believes is the moral thing to do...

I don't think that a ban is the right way to handle it; something more low key promoting the idea that its suppressing womens rights and having the women concerned reconsider their stance on wearing it.

I agree with what you say, but lets say we went to Saudi Arabia and walked down the Street drinking a can of beer, We think its morally right to do, But the saudi's would lock you up, because its against their country's rules.

If a Country has decided that the wearing of a Burkha is to be outlawed, why would individuals attempt to take matters into their own hands and say otherwise?

If your a woman and you went to a deeply muslim country where all women wear Burkhas you'd be expected to at least cover your face with a veil, If you went strolling down to the market in your Bikini, like many do in spain and other hot countries, you'd be stoned to death.

Whilst your in their country you respect their religion, and they must respect others and not expect the law to change in their favor, whats so hard about that? :erm:
