Unfortunately there are people who think that is all OK in the name of religion because some man told everyone god said it.

But youre not really saying burquas are forced on women by men therefore they should be banned and they should take them off immediately. That would be hypocritical. Youre not really saying that Brits can force dresscodes off people but Egyptians may not do the opposite. That would also be hypocritical.

So what are you really saying, that post didnt come off well.

I think your point is that 'anti-religion' is superior to 'any religion' therefore act like me. But thats a bit too dark of a discussion for me to have. Live and let live etc. Lets not force the burquas off people, lets not force burquas on people, lets sympathise and join in outrage when people try to enforce one rule or the other.
