Nope. That doesn't look right, either. As a mother, I can say that given a choice between wearing the burka, or having their kids blown up, most mothers would choose the burka. And if Western countries decide to wage war against their countries just to "liberate" them from their burkas, that is a very real possibility for them. But as someone who is not a Muslim, and does not live in a Musim country, I am not in a position to say how the women in those places who do wear them feel about it. And no-one who isn't in their position can really say how they feel about it either.
