to get a picture without the veil. In any case of national security veils don't count. Any time going to the grocery store or schools that is ok.

Non-Muslim women don't normally walk around COMPLETELY unveiled. And why did they hide her eyes -- because the veiled woman's eyes aren't?

Western dress with total nudity. THeir comparing a nude woman with a veiled woman is ludicrious.

The idea that nudity and sexuality are bad and somehow equate to Islamic female suppression? That Western women are "blind" but "decent" veiled women see? The suggestion that nudity (generally done privately) somehow equates to concealing street wear (worn in public)? Oh hell no. Fuck that. NAY.
