I think that the question that so many women have about the burka is less one of "rights" and "government intrusion" and more about the true willingness of the Muslim women to adopt this fashion. Is it imposed on her? Does she have the ability to actively say "No" and not suffer for this? That was where I began my questioning. I just have a hard time understanding how any educated woman would willingly submit to this practice.

I have a hard time understanding how any educated woman would willingly choose to forego birth control and have 18 children like the Duggars, or live by the rules of Jewish family purity which require menstrual secretions to be checked and verified before intercourse, or any number of different things. However, my lack of understanding why women would live that way is really irrelevant. People are free to live their lives in whatever religion they choose.
