2. He's got a few great points, especially about Vitamin D
The full body, full face obscuring garb is inhumane.

Also he's right about making it compulsory for all flaming idiot religious police type men. In summer.

He's also right about the advancement of women being central to the advancement of any culture as a whole. Islam's golden age coincided with the ultimate freedom for women. Since all the tribal bullshit crept back in, it's been backwards, without progress.

4. Well,
Pat Condell isn't exactly "politically correct", is he? But I agree with him. Sharia is completely incompatible with our way of life, western civilization, and the United States Constitution. Beware. You ignore attempts to impose it at your own peril.

5. A Muslim woman's perspective
Thank you for your comments. This is an important issue we feminists must confront.

The burqa is a symbol of oppression and intimidation, just as the KKK Klansman's robe is.

Here is an interesting piece on the same subject, from a Muslim woman who rejects the burqa.
