Personally I do not think that the full Niqab/Burkha should be allowed in this society as it is so devisive and I believe that it intimidates many people here. I was also under the impression (though from where it comes I do not recall) that the wearing of these garments is not a requirement of the Qu'ran but was an edict of the mullah's or caliphs and is attributable to one muslim sect rather than the whole of the muslim world, The repression of the wearer is apparent and the extension of this repression to all of the muslim world is insidious and a danger to all who value freedom of expresion and liberty. Thank you for the post I enjoyed your view on the subject. Sorry to come to it so late! Excellent post well written and reasoned, I admire the honesty of your empirical resarch by the way!

I do not think societies have collapsed because of dress codes (or lack of) but because of conquest or social revolution. Every generation of prudes and moralists thinks that society is on the way down because of sexual "licence" (you will not know what that means, it is a bit like a dog licence, but not quite), but we are still going strong despite the attempts of a few (not the majority) of Muslims to blow us to pieces. If I understand you right, the failure of Christianity to enforce dress codes has led to this plight - well, actually, few of use are really Christian anyway, and real Christians have more important things to think about - like helping the poor. Real Muslims also do this, so please think more about helping than condemning. yes Kope, you are obsessed with sex and with dress codes – please learn the English language, and seriously look at history.
