burqa

Wow... Just, wow. I watched Osama today. It's about a girl in Afganistan who must dress like a boy to feed her family. Good movie. But I was intruiged by both the language, and dress. The burqa. So I searched for it online and found a couple of articles Veild Threat and The Burqa.

I just think that being forced to wear a veil is not something to be taken as lightly as these women did. Choosing to wear and being forced to are very different. Being forced to wear a burqa is de-womanizing the woman.

I have questions about the difference between the veil, where your face still shows and the burqa, where it doesn't.
