The liberal outrage at this sentiment is laughable. Boris is right. There is NOTHING liberal or feminist or empowering or *anything* good about women wearing the burkha or niqab. In any circumstance. In any country or any culture. Ever.https://twitter.com/jessbrammar/status/1026413210302341120 …

Do you Honestly believe that most Muslim women actually choose to wear this? I can tell you for a fact, after working with many of them in West Yorkshire for many years that most of them either do not have a choice and/or have been pressured into wearing them.

There’s enough evidence where Iranian women in Iran are being hounded for not wearing it. They do appear opposed to it and suffer for their stance

I guess you reply could should have been where is the evidence for your statement. I work with some who wear traditional dress and some that don’t, they get gently harassed by older Muslim males. It’s I suppose more of a what we each see

This is absolutely correct. Some of my colleagues, if dressed in western clothing would be taken to one side by elders who were strangers to them and TOLD to wear more 'modest clothing'.

It seems pretty clear that, even if your intent was pure, your effect was not, which makes you either astonishingly naive or utterly disingenuous.
