Thought I answered:
"Can only speak of first hand experience over many years here.
There is so much we all can agree on what is wrong about Islam, but what a woman wears by choice or not is not one of them."
Have no idea why so many male? posters are making such a big issue of it by presuming to know more about it then the females in question.
Go figure...
I am not going to presume to know what goes on in other countries and whether women are dressed in that manner by choice or are forced, I will leave it to others.
