Carol:
I don't understand your post. A wig is a wig. Not a hijab. I was making my point on your interpretation of the words of the women who wear cloaking garments 'by choice'. There are slaves who don't know what to do with freedom. There are slaves who know nothing about freedom. As Wolfgang implies, it's not just a Muslim thing. The people of the erstwhile Soviet Union have been having a hell of a time adjusting to the free market economy. People mustered out of the Army often find civilian life much tougher to bear than the military, it's a motive to re-enlist.
Your immediate devolvement to looking for a Jewish analogue makes me wonder if you are going to contribute to the holocaust cartoon competition being suggested by the Iranian leaders as a response to the Danish cartoonists. Seems you have a one track mind.
