slims, you're talking about a culture that has had no education for the last 30 years at least. many cant read or write, women are subjugated by their male counterparts, they dont have access to the outside world, and the basically live in a fishbowl that is a sandpit. you cannot seriously think that the people of afghanistan are representative of the islamic religion.
slims, the only islamic school of thought that ive seen that have said that the burkha is mandatory is the salafists, of which OBL and the taliban are adherants as well as the saudi regime. there isnt anything in the quran or hadith to justify that postion. the quran at best calls for women to cover themselves and be modest, but here is not specific reference to a hijab or burkha.
an interesting thought..if a french convert is wearing a burkha, and wants to continue doing so, how can she be told to go back where she came from or to not immigrate?
