Good. Those are exactly the societies where debate is most needed, right?
Nobody discussed Niqab in the media in this concentrated manor until 2001. Neither in the west; nor in the Middle East. After 2001, it became a cheap shot for many people wanting to win the general support of the west; despite the matter being as ancient as pre-Islam.
My problem with the Niqab springs from my problem with Sunni/Shiite doctrines and their consumption of human rights; especially in Arabic societies. But the world didn't actually care until the States said so; with lots of people who only seek to placate westerners.
If the debate is about women's right; we won't have a problem. But when the debate turns out to be that "Khalid is a self-hating Arab who thinks that Niqab is embarrassing especially in front of westerners", I will raise a red flag; asking: what if westerners weren't watching? what if the Internet wasn't invented? What if T.V wasn't around? What if you had to live with your sister, wife, Sunni/Shiite Islam & the 4 walls around you only?
In other words; once the international community give you its back; Margret is back to her old habit.
There is no real change to the best. There is no root questioning of one's doctrines and culture, but there is a lot of self-hate, sexism, copy-catting the west's appearance, drinking Whiskey and think that is democracy, then it all ends with something like Syria and Iraq and Egypt, or India and Pakistan.
