Reader comment on item: Niqabs and Burqas as Security Threats
in response to reader comment: "Covering of Muslim women"
Submitted by bushra (United Kingdom), Jun 27, 2008 at 12:47
firstly it is for modesty why did virgin mary cover up, why do the nuns cover up so it is allowed for chaste women in christianity to cover up and not muslim women, you people are hypocrites. muslim women cover up because god tells the to cover up just as the jewish and christian women had to be covered up it was in the torah and gospel which has been changed. do you want women to prade around naked so that perverts like yourselves can ogle at them.
