Burka

Why will anyone want to conceal all women's faces for whatever reason that may have come to his head? If a religion teaches people to hurt someone's feelings, I am sure it is not a good religion, which only promulgates fatuous ideas.

Burqa is NOT prescribed by religion, it's just a kinda dress only.

A cycle rickshaw may sound to you ugly but it still serving the logistic requirements of millions of people in the world. You just can't hate it because you don't need it or don't like it.

No face is Ugly...you can't say that because you can't see them. Have your eyesight and mind checked!
Faith doesn't prescribe Burqa....it just asks women to keep their adornments out of sight of the general public ....and to men, to keep their eyes low (ie don't look at their tits!)when they 'talk' to stranger women..

She's trying to break this wall, the veil and other walls , by saying it is not Islamic . I don't wear the veil but I don't say it is not Islamic . I know I'm committing a sin and I'm responsible of my choice .
I think making the argument religious by saying is not Islamic is a mistake because she has to support her argument with the Qura'n , Hadeeth and the consensus of the clerics . Yet I do agree with her on what she said about imposing cloaks and headscarfs on children .

This is too much and very cruel .It is not Islamic , cultural . Unless the girl gets her period she not supposed to wear the veil .

the author of the article seems to be a so-called Muslim of the Agha khani sect who follows the orders of her Imam (Saint) Prince Aga Khan more than the Quran or anyone else in the world!! hence her every word is UNRELIABLE AND UNTRUE!!
