There are few underlying issues here, first of all, there are people who would rather wear their religion or culture on their sleeves, then there are those who would confuse between the two (culture and religion) and insist on others to accept them as is.

That is one aspect, the other is the acceptance and tolerance of people of difference. No matter what people may have you believe, racism is still not dead in any society. We're different even without our clothes on, that is all in front of God as well as fellow human beings, so in this context, the knowledge and understanding of pluralism and acceptance of differences reign in supreme above all us.

How many of us are educated in this regard and how many of us make any effort in educating those who are not, and how many of us are willing with open hearts to accept these differences? Your guess would be as good as mine.

The above poster wrote "The Burqua is a symbol of feminine repression, under which women from foreign countries suffer human rights abuses". This is not entirely true. Yes, there are some Islamic countries that have a law stating women must wear the burqa, but then again there are also some Islamic countries (like Jordan, Pakistan, etc) that do not require women to wear it (and the women that do wear them do so of their own accord). Now in a country like America for example, where you see women wearing this dress (where they are not forced to do so), why do they choose to wear it? Because they WANT to (with the exception of some households requiring their family members to wear them). T...

The point of my writing all of this is to make you aware that you shouldn't be quick to judge and that there are two sides to a coin. Your perspective might find it wrong, whereas the other side believes its totally right. Next time ask the women behind the burqa why she is wearing it, and she will tell you it is out of willingness most of the time.

More muslim "we are victims" mewling.

An interesting footnote to this piece might be someone conducting the same kind of experiment where an un-scarfed woman moves about in a predominantly muslim area...that might be truly revealing.
BTW, all this abuse muslims are supposedly subjected to, and yet everywhere I go I see many people moving about freely in this clothing, if things are made so difficult for them, it seems to deter few.
Furthermore, I have never in my life witnessed a single instance of someone racially abusing a man or woman in Islamic clothing-NEVER, and that includes immediately after a major terror event, when we hear about the so-called 'backlash" which seems to never c...

NEVER seen anyone spitting on , hassling, or abusing verbally any muslim.
Negative comments and views aired in private, yes.Sure. Are they winning any general popularity contests, no. Put that down to several factors.
But never seen someone going after one in public yet.
Give the mewling a rest. Its one of the things people are fed up with about this group.
