Some tried to tell me that now many young modern Muslims are putting the Burke on as a sign of protest against the oppression from the west.
If yes,please stop,You are creating a disservice for the one that never had a choice till now.
Think about your kids and here the ones that are fighting slavery risking their own lifes.

I think that if is for real a choice ...not an issue
I am not judging anything but unfairness and slavery that is often hidden under false disguised,is not a cultural battle,is a battle for freedom and equality that starts in any home,that is behind any social class and social setting.
Is a very convenient reality for some
Here I am upset over what the Israeli government is doing ,angry at the fact that nations mingled in things with no after thought what so ever and I don t here many complains about it but when I bring up experiences that I went true directly,that I KNOW TO BE TRUE ,I make many uncomfortable,why ?
I know what it means to lose your virginity to an old men a very disgusting sick man.
I know how it feels to be sold by Your father to his friends or for rent money,I know what false accusations do
I had a town that thought I had sex with people that never crossed that line with me,in some sick minds I should be guilty for being by raped my own father and even more so,I would be found guilty if 2 people said that I acted improperly,just few people with old grudges and jealousy are choosing if a woman should be beaten or not and in some cases even killed.
I would have been killed more then once and always unjustly because totally pure in intentions and often in facts
Why are we still closing our eyes to all this ?
Why are we still letting the big bullies win ?
Please stop training women ,let them be them self's,putting the effort together the different strengths will make us survive as a species
bye for now

Interesting comparison, thank you for your comment. I'd like to just add, that while I understand you are specifically referring to the Burqa, I think it is important to identify the numerous circumstances in which women wear various types of veils in the world. While I firmly agree that oppressive patriarchal societies and cultures that force women to conceal their faces and bodies is wrong and like you say, comparable to slavery, there are many instances around the world where a veil is a woman's personal choice, made out of her own free will.

How would Chris Rock react if his eyes spotted a white man pulling very gently on a very elegant leash a black man ?
Do You think he would just ignore it?
Do You think that if the slave told him that he was ok,that is mother did it before him and his grand father as well and that he sees absolutely nothing wrong with it,do You think he or any other black would accept the slave answer ?
How do You aspect me and other evolve and modern people to accept the Burke?
There are countries like Norway,Sweden and Canada that are way ahead of the rest of the world in equality,how do you
think they feel about SLAVERY ?
Blacks in chains or women in Burke
AND PLEASE DON T TELL ME IS CULTURAL BECAUSE IN THAT CASE...THEY BOTH ARE
