Some women from Moslem countries, who did not wear the veil in their country of origin, but take it up when they move to Western countries. Why? as a reaction to the degradation of women that they see everywhere in advertisements, on billboards, and walking down the street. Many such women regard the veil in a similar way that feminists felt about the old overalls and Tshirt a couple of decades ago - a uniform that says "I am not a sex object". At home, they wear shorts and T shirts like everyone else.

there is so much demonising of people from different cultures - people have walls, views, through which they see. yet everywhere, people are truly so similar.

except for Martin Gibson, who is a one off. Martin, wash your mouth out with soap and water, and go do some household chores as penance.
