I'm not equating the two religions beyond that superficial level. I leave the justifications for the costumes and practices to others, but someone else would have done the same if I hadn't.
Fair enough, but I still think equating a nun wearing a habit, which is a vocational uniform, to women being made to wear a niqab every time they have to leave the house or be seen by a man, seems very dishonest to me.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
