Where are these similar garments?

You've not shown any other religions that have a full face veil for women only.

So finally, after trying to complain about Mosques, animal slaughter, etc, the racists have found something unique that they can complain about Muslims, despite the fact that only a tiny proportion of Muslims wear that garment.
But there has never been a whisper about Nuns' habits, Priests vestments, etc.

the vast majority of Muslims do not support the Burka,

Incidentally, your comment was carefully phrased.
Sure, the majority of Muslims do not support the Burka, but by the same token the vast majority of Muslims do not object to the Burka.

I think the issue is well encapsulated by an Australian Muslim Lecturer in Islamic studies:

Are some Muslim women forced to wear a burka or niqab?
Dr Ismail does concede that some women may be pressured into covering themselves.
"There is a possibility that some husbands would tell their wives 'please wear the niqab, I don't want any other men to see you' which is possessive," she said.
"When it comes to that, the problem is not the niqab, it is being married to someone who is possessive and oppressive."
Should the burka be banned?
Dr Ismail does not agree that banning the burka in Australia would solve the problem of oppression.
"By banning the burka or niqab you are preventing some women in freely practising what they believe in," she said.
"You would probably isolate these women because they would not be able to go out."

.

I guess I will have to respond to abusive insults in a similar manner, rather than simply highlighting them.

Trust Wannabe to know better. Sigh.

Trust mightygob to misrepresent my comments. Sigh.

You need to stop telling lies, misrepresenting my comments, and being abusive.

Maybe that's the way Walaa wants this country to be like

Bish-bash-bodd inventing things again, because that is all he is capable of.

 

[IWalkLikeHimaMartian]

You trivialised such an heart-breaking to witness and symbolic event of those poor souls who'd been living under a vicious and ridiculously oppressive regime.

I did no such thing.

Yeah, sure, I'm the one who is misrepresenting it

Glad you admit it.

Why isnt there a whisper aboit Nuns habits, priests vestments?

Simple, they havent been created by men to cover womens faces in the guise of being 'modest', but are actually oppressive.

I have been abusive?

Ive corrected your misrepresntation of the facts and explained the reality.

You have chosen to accuse me of being abusive, which is an excuse to avoid answering

Presumably you would be able to find one woman or some women who might say my husband/ a man makes me wear it, but -

in view of the small number worldwide who do wear it and the fact that no one seems to really know why it exists, it is only speculation.

Bish-bash-bodd inventing things again, because that is all he is capable of.

Try this

Two slices of bread... Toast on one side.

Grate French blue brie on the un-toasted buttered side.

A layer of pre cooked mushrooms covering all brie.
Grate a layer of Stilton over the top
Grill for 1 min.

Sprinkle finely cut chillies.

Grate a cheddar over the top and grill until golden brown..

This is another one of my inventions

I call it a cheese on a cheese on a cheese on toast

If he is inventing things, he must be awfully clever
