If you’re truly an advocate for women, at the very least you’d allow them to wear the clothes they want.

Simple answer here -- let women wear the burqa if they want to. Oh wait -- Islam DOESN'T CARE what women want. . . . if you’re truly an advocate for religious freedom, you’d never ban a traditional religious practice that doesn’t impinge on anyone else’s rights.

The problem with this pious statement is that the burqa is a religious practice which is based on denying that women have ANY rights.

this is a crazy article, I don’t get it. Being forced to cover youself =
choosing to wear what you want. wait till some burqa bombs go off
and we’ll see how ridiculous sarkozy is.
