<<I am opposed to wearing the burka because I think they are hideous but I defend the right of every woman, man and child to wear one. IMO its that tolerence of cultural, ethnic, racial and religious differences that has made the US unique in the world even as we have not always lived up to that promise.>> So where do you draw the line? Is sati OK with you. How about a father beating a girl for dating outside her community or killing her. A burka is psychological violence. And women who are indoctinated from birth with dogma of inferiority is a form of violence. You have to draw the line somewhere. I like to draw it on the civilized side. I like to see women empowered, not cowed from birth. Makes me sick to my stomach!
