Personally I have no time for either religious or other forms of controlling women by male dominated societies insisting women cover themselves. Why would you think it would make any difference? Grasping at straws! Other groups that do cover themselves such as nuns choose to become nuns they aren't born into it, brainwashed and often threatened. All free-choice.
Neither do they cover their faces and identity - the biggest insult of all in my opinion. Neither are they used to commit terrorist acts such as the recent attacks by three women in London. Hugh differences in my opinion.
