<<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. Please.....no strawmen. I know this may be hard for you to believe but some women want to wear the burka.....they prefer it.......just like some women prefer not to wear makeup or shave their legs.
