| Back to the actual subject, these things are degrading and have no place in Western society. There is nothing religious about them and is a strict interpretation forced upon women by weak minded men. The stupidity of it, is that the sexiest part of anyone (in my opinion) are eyes, which are the only things uncovered. In an extremist way to make a statement, more and more women appear to be wearing these things and the question that really needs to be asked but isn't, is what is going on behind closed doors that we don't know about to force this on women? These items of clothing are part of a 'culture' that stone women to death for 'udultery' when they've actually been raped but don't have the 8 (female) witnesses or 4 (male) witnesses required to prove innocence. The same 'culture' where fathers kill their own daughters and shove them in suitcases because they don't like their boyfriends and therefore have to defend their 'honour'. These are extreme examples because those that force their women to wear this item of clothing are extreme. If they can walk around in shorts and t-shirts why is it necessary for women to wear a sheet from head to toe? If this is their culture and they want the freedom to wear something that symbolises above all the oppression of women then feel free to do it in a Muslim country with Sharia law. I have recently had to go to Ankara for work on a number of occasions. Last time it was extremely hot, however, although not as extreme as some Muslim countries, I ensured that I respected their beliefs and did not go out in shorts or a bikini top etc. Now if I can respect a culture and beliefs whilst in a foreign country why can't people that CHOOSE TO LIVE in this country accept that oppression of females whether it be through fists or dress is not acceptable?
