I do feel for those that are forced to wear them but not for those that actually choose to. But I also feel for non-Muslim women and the message given out about female equality. Women in this country fought long and hard for equality, some even died for it, they earned that right and should not have it undermined by the beliefs and ideas of a few. At the end of the day my loyalties lie with the majority of British women and their interests.
Whether it be as a result of force (threat or indoctrination) or through free-will it is unacceptable as it represents hatred of all women. The wearing of it should be viewed as a hate crime in my opinion.
As a recent terrorist attempt by three women shows Muslim women can also be extreme and pose a danger to us all. There are more negatives to the majority of women in this country than positives if this practice is allowed to continue.
I know your views on this about time and the experience of Western life changing how Muslim women think, but that could take decades, even centuries and I don't think it is something non-Muslim British women should have to put up with at all nevermind for that length of time.
You can bet your boots attitudes would be different if men were expected to put up with the equivalent insult to their value and place in the pecking order. And we have a female priminister - the whole thing is a joke!
