Any act that represses women should be banned.
I have never read the Koran but I'm pretty sure it doesn't tell women to cover up so radically. I have no problem with women dressing modestly if that's what they wish but I abhor the fact that some Muslim women have been brainwashed into wearing the burka. It's one of the few things that really makes me very angry. They do it as not to incite men's passion ffs. Why do women have to be the ones who suffer because of mens inability to control their urges and don't get me started on the rape laws in Afganistan etc. There has to be a witness of the rape or else the women is charged with unlawful sex.

I saw a programme the other day about a 14 year old Muslim female boxer in Leeds and it gave me a good feeling inside that there are some Muslim families that fight against the tide of female oppression.

I could go on but I won't bore you with my feelings on the matter.

(Not because you won't go on but because I agree with you). There was a woman in Florida who sued to be allowed to wer her burka while driving.

She didn't win.

You've never read the Qur'an
but you feel entitled to make judgements on what it does and doesn't contain?

I have read the Koran
I feel perfectly entitled to make judgements on what it contains. And BGB is right
