the final decision (on whatever should be worn)should be by the woman concerned..not dictated by the state or even any religion..
if wearing one makes a lady happier..good for them..same for the ones who feel it is something that repesses..let them not wear..the problem is when the fanatics get all crazy n forcibly enforce bcos relgion sez so.. it like in saudi or iran..
in my opinion,the burka started being imposed on women by insecure men n religion is used to justify it..
