Frankly I find the thing detestable (in both the Muslim and Christian fashions) for what it represents. Religious oppression of women.
ARGGGGGGG
Religiously justified sexism EXISTS, in EVERY religion worldwide, to greater or lesser degrees depending on sect and or individual family.
Conservative Jews a couple years back in Israel, held back a passenger jet because their asshole sexist men refused to sit next to women on the flight.

Not even Buddhism escapes this.

Now again, I don't point this out as some sort of call to end all religions, but merely to point out that these things happen because humans falsely attribute their morality as coming from their label/holy writings. Our species ability to be cruel or compassionate is not in our labels, but in our evolution, and men, regardless of nationality or religion, are quite capable of being sexist fucks.
Yes Christianity, like Islam has members whom read their holy writings to justify sexism, but that is not a patent held by one religion. Sexism exists in every religion.
Brian, dude, do you need a xanax? We were specifically talking about burqas and Pool brought up the Christian version in the OP. No one said anything about oppression being a quality of only the two mentioned. I mean what the fuck is this?
