For me you have hit the nail on the head gaz, there can be no doubt at all that there are men in Britain who are so insecure that they enforce this monstrocity on their wives, this is the issue for me.
I can't pretend I like the burhka, I detest that in 21st century Britain there are women being entombed in this travesty, and it seems too many people are far to concerned for the vocal few who want to wear this cloak than for the silent majority who dare not express a view. This isn't a question about being free to wear what you wish, its a fundamental human right to be able to choose not to wear this oppressive garment, and I feel that making excuses for the burhka does the oppressed women no favours at all.
