In relation to Belgium (it is ultimately Belgium's business) 400 women wear the burkha in Belgium, and yet the state has sanctioned it's ban.
A bit ott.
We in the west often fail to grasp how western we are, the east isn't backward, it's different.
I don't agree with some of those differences, but, then again they don't agree with many of ours.
The veil, niqab, the hijab and the burkha etc are normal every day wear in their countries, it's just ordinary.
Not every woman in Iran wears the veil, or Syria etc etc, I would seriously advise both of you to watch "Syrian School" it may change your stereotypical view of Muslims, a little.
I still fail to see your remedy for Saudi Arabia, nonsensical as it is.
P.S.
Our disagreement on M.M.R is based not on choice etc, it's based on the claim that one possesses reason and logic whilst utilising proof and evidence to formulate conclusions, and, then promptly abandoning such principles when the evidence goes against them.

Everton, //The veil, niqab, the hijab and the burkha etc are normal every day wear in their countries, it's just ordinary.//
God! This is ridiculous! Why? Ask yourself why? Or better still, read what Birdie and I have said again, because you clearly haven't understood a word of it. I have travelled fairly extensively in the Middle East, I have spoken to countless Muslim women and girls, and therefore I don't need to watch one television documentary in order to formulate an opinion.
Our differences on MMR are based on choice. You are happy to accept the triple vaccine despite the fact that no one can offer conclusive and irrefutable proof of its safety. I, on the other hand, require that irrefutable proof because children's lives matter to me. I know several people - some of whom joined our discussions - who firmly believe their children have been damaged by MMR, and therefore I prefer to err on the side of caution. If only one child in 10,000 is negatively affected by it, from my point of view, it's one child too many and so it's logical to advocate separate vaccines. It's as simple as that.
That said, I'm not getting into that argument again. It's already been done to death.

The reason why is because it's an expression of their faith in Islam.
As to how they came to form that view is another matter, your view on this matter is not an altruistic path but more one of seeking converts away from Islam and faith in general.
There's nothing overtly wrong in that, just be honest about it when you're discussing it.

Everton, No, that is not the reason. Islam does not demand it, and if this were indeed an expression of faith, then there would clearly be many more than the 400 you claim in Belgium wearing it, so that is complete and utter nonsense. How those who do wear it came to form that view is the real crux of the matter, and that is precisely what you consistently refuse to address.
It is quite ridiculous to imply that my view is other than that expressed, and it's even more ridiculous to suggest that my intention is to attract people away from Islam. Because I care about humanity and the future of our planet, I would like people of religion to shake off the restrictive shackles of the antiquated superstitions that bind them - I've made no secret of that - but if that were indeed my purpose in discussing this, do you really think I would be using page 4 of an old thread on Answerbank to achieve the aim? How many Muslim women do you imagine are reading this? If anyone is dishonest, it's you because in order to defend religion and the religious you willingly and continually surrender your own integrity. In short, you're lying to yourself. Wake up Everton!
