I didn't know that when I walk out of the house I have to be putting on a parade for the public to stare and rate me. When you hear such an 'intelligent' (note of sarcasm) comment by a person, it makes you question how seriously you should take them. It was good that Richard Peppiatt took a step to experience a burqa before criticizing it and being honest in his findings but I don't see the importance of seeing ones face in public. This will be someone who is just going to be walking past you in the street and shopping malls, why the need to see how they look like? Do you just like to stare at women and make them feel uncomfortable? Other than security reasons, I do not see the need to want to reveal the face of these women who CHOOSE to wear their Islam dress.
