i agree. why do men not have to wear them? its like they are saying men are better than women.

in an article that i read it said that women were having trouble seeing well and moving around, which also prevented them from their working. and someone said, "when the taliban left, the burqa went with."

i agree. when someone would happen to see someone on the street, or in public, they would recognize them as anyone else, and sometimes, people probably wouldn't even see them

the nuns chose to wear the burqa and it is their commitment to god, and the burqa doesn't sibolize much except they are muslims and believe in god.

well the problem with the burqua, is that lots of women don't like it and they want to take them off. one article said, "when the taliban left, the burqas went with."

well then women won't have their own identity! they won't feel like they are a unique indivinual, and whenever someone sees someone wearing a burqua, they will hardly notice them, because every other woman is wearing one.they could just think of them as the same person every time.

i agree with rebecca! that would be a very good time to wear it, if they really wanted to, and then that way people that don't want to wear them, will be happy, as well as people that do!

if it is true that women feel safe in dangerouse times, how is that possible, if they can't even see that well out of their veils? they won't know what is coming, and it is more dangerouse because move around and function well!

The Burqa is oppressive to women because women have a hare time getting around and functioning in them, andeven seeing through their veil which prevents them from working as well! Therefore they can be dangerouse because they can't see.
