By Mirko Bagaric, published 27/10/2006In truth, opposition to the face veil is all about Western prejudice, just as opposition to the mini skirt is all about Islamic prejudice.

Believe it or not, most muslim women wear veils out of choice, as western men and women cover their genitals.
This is not a simple issue. Western society has standards of dress too. This is an issue of what level is permissible. To ban the veil is akin to forcing people to wear it... or perhaps like forcing women to cover their chest?
In any case, I wish people would stop and consider the issue fully before screeching one way or the other.
Amitarian - if you're going to quote people directly, get it right. You use the word intolerance. Bagaric used the word tolerance. As far as I can see your interpretation of this article is nothing short of totally haywire. Did you actually read it?
