Do you know why is BURQA used on the first place.

Its all about religious bigotry towards women.

@nilammagi Not true. Though some who'd prefer not to wear them are required to in certain countries, it's a choice for many, many others.

@Graylight It's not a choice. Actually, you should expand your knowledge.

@nilammagi To start, see below. As for expanding knowledge, hoe many women have you spoken to who wear the burqa daily? My neighborhood is more than a third Islamic. I'd be happy to share their stories.

Very good. But this is actually what they will say because of the left-liberal terrorist sympathizing media.

It is the view of the Muslim world.

@nilammagi Media's got nothing to do with it.

@Graylight You don't have any argument I guess.

@AgapeLove I hear you, but I maintain that many women still wear a burqa out of pure choice. Many can't understand why Catholics would flagellate themselves or wear scapulae every day all their lives upon penalty of sin, but some do because they choose it. I think what we'd all agree on is that is should be a choice and not a requirement for women.
