eire,
I would agree that in a free society like the USA, women should have all of the room they desire to make this choice and particularly so with the hijab. My fear, however, is that in less free societies, Muslim women don't have the same freedoms and nowhere near the same degree of autonomy that they have here. I think that this is very much the case in many of the Middle Eastern countries. Even in France, which is heavily segregated with Muslims living mostly to themselves, I would question how much true freedom these Muslim women have in their decision to wear the burka.
