This woman believes that a ban on her face-veil is against her freedom. I don't agree. What's against a woman's freedom is to live in a Muslim country where girls are refused education, or even sometimes medical attention. Making an issue of the face-veil is just deflecting the attention from more serious issues.

Agree 100% with both of these.

This might be 'their' country?

I think they are ridiculous to kick up a fuss about this, but I don't really think theres any need for the cries of 'but this is england' or whatever.
