I like living in Fitzory and all, but I'd welcome the burqa over half the absolutely ridiculous hipster outfits worn in hopes of ones own 'personal expression' any day... But to each his own... Amicus has made many good points here, and I agree with most of it, it's just hard to know where to draw the line in the sand in what rights the state has the power to either limit or completely remove, and I tend to think it lies in common sense.. fundamentally, I don't feel that it's up to the (young) western world to condemn long standing religious or cultural ideologies because it doesn't jive with what's 'right' as we've determined in first world nations.. of course stoning and honour killings are terrible and wrong, but according to a large majority of the worlds population, so is eating meat...
