Perhaps the thought has not occurred to you that you may be the one who is not listening, stuck on spouting the same old stuff rather, as if on a mission to convert the rest of us on the issue of the burqua.

Were you as concerned with freedom of expression as you claim to be you might show a little respect for the rights of others here to express their own opinions on these issues without repeatedly jumping to "correct" them as if the only perspective that matters is yours.

Thanks Liz,
I also don't want to go around in circles, but I do like to clarify things. I can see that you are concerned for many women's issues, not the least being domestic violence. 

But in as much as you've answered my question, you agree with numerous others that the burqa is somewhat symbolic of men's oppression of women (but are nevertheless happy for women to display it).
