[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sure if you 'choose to wear it's lovely, but if you are forced to a ball and chain for many. I imagine thats why France banned it - in solidarity with  many hundreds of millions of women who have NO choice. And to send a message, that wont be happening even one time in France. Maybe there would be lots who wore it freely in France but then the teen girl whose family bullies her into it. Not worth it it sounds like. Especially since some of their neighborhoods sound so closed to police etc  - how would they even investigate? These girls would be swallowed up into silence. We are still looking for that awful taxi driver in Texas who honor killed his lovely teen daughters as he thought they were too western.[/quote]

It is subjugation - plain and simple.  And while many may disagree with me, I've seen my fair share of young girls in the US forced to cover.  Many have been angry and resentful, and their feelings have come across very clearly in their writing assignments and artwork.

An educational setting - like a courtroom - should level the playing field.  Allowing young women to explore who they are OUTSIDE of their religious belief system is healthy, imo.  Religion should not define WHO we are.  Unfortunately, this isn't the case with Islam.  [/quote]
Forcing women to uncover is as barbaric as forcing them to cover. [/quote]

Making women aware of freedom is barbaric?

Allowing them to express themselves in other ways is barbaric?[/quote]
Why are you putting words in my mouth?

Women who live in secular countries know very well of freedoms available to them.  If you outlaw a particular type of cover, you are in fact mandating dress codes as much as Al-Saud who dictate covering.  It's not your business to decide or dictate how much or how little women should expose. It's not up to you. They own their bodies. Not you.  Taking away the freedom to cover is barbaric.[/quote]

well, I want to go around naked but society forces me to wear clothes. is that barbaric? in western countries the governments certainly dictate how little women should expose since generally walking around without with boobs exposed is not allowed.   if people can be forced to wear some clothes in secular western countries, I don't see why we cannot outlaw the burka and ask a woman to show at least her face in public (since wearing the burka is not a religious requirement at all, as proven daily by the hundreds of millions of non-burka wearing Muslim women in the world)
