Referring to a whole class of people as "Barbarian Curs" is pretty egregious and shows how little one knows about that class of people. It's disgusting, to even sit there and support it is ignorant. I am not Islamic, I don't agree with what they do but, I don't belittle them. Big difference.
The women do wear bonnets and such outside the home though.

The ban of the burqa is a good thing imo, I have no idea where this tradition came from but it does not fit in a western democratic community where everyone is equal.
I was unaware that the western democratic community (whatever the hell that is) had a dress code .

"Degrading for women?" dude are you serious.
How about the women who come out of their houses basically "naked", that is not degrading, and allowing the women to have sex at a very large, which causes the highest rate of abortion in the world? get real man.
What is degrading is when the majority of women in a country approximately 95% of women have had premarital sex and will have been with more than one partner before they finally decide to settle their a**** down.
What is degrading is when you have women, and teens enrolling in porn, and watching women exposing themselves for men. Women here are used as sex toys, when the guy gets what he wants which is sex, he dumps her and goes to the other victim.
What is degrading, is that you actually think that islam demands that omen wear the burqa, the burqa is a choice that these women make, the hijab is what is mandatory. No one is forcing these women to wear the burqa, its their own will. Again the hijab is what is mandatory, the burqa not at all.
Its funny how people think that by putting up a video of a place where they are beating women, they assume that is islam. it's not. If i put up a porn video, and i said this is happening in america, is this christianity? get real with yourself man.

That's is called freedom. To be allowed to make your own choices, be it good or bad.

It's not about clothing, its about the fact that it is a form of supression. Ofcourse you can keep arguing that these are "just" clothes, but your obviously not the one wearing them. The woman that do have to wear these things wear them because else they are looked opun as whores.
And we can't let such a primitive tradition stay alive in our modern society.

Very much, yes.

I am sure that the pressure of your spiritual leaders or the indoctrination at young age have nothing to do with that, right?

I am really struggeling to see the connection which you are trying to make here but you cannot deny it is part of the Islam tradition.

But it's not hard to see how she stands out with her form-covering clothing, a headscarf tied under her chin and her pledge not to engage in pre-marital sex.
"I'm Muslim, and it's been taught to us in our religion, and I believe in this," said the 24-year-old university student from the southern French town of Cagnes-sur-Mer.
A court in Saudi Arabia doubled its sentence of lashings for a rape victim who had spoken out in public about her case and her efforts to seek justice, Human Rights Watch said today. The court also harassed her lawyer, banning him from the case and confiscating his professional license. An official at the General Court of Qatif, which handed down the sentence on November 14, said the court had increased the woman's sentence because of "her attempt to aggravate and influence the judiciary through the media."
The issue of the burqa is not a religious issue. It is a question of freedom and of women’s dignity. The burqa is not a religious sign. It is a sign of the subjugation, of the submission, of women….I want to say solemnly that it will not be welcome on our territory.
