Curious. Possibly arrogant on the part of the artist who created it. To what extent is a woman in a burkha the prisoner of a male dominated society that oppresses women, and to what extent is she practicing a religion she believes in and supports? If she is religious, is it because she is brainwashed and does not know any better? Would she wear the burkha if she moved to, let's say, Canada? And the biggest question of all - are we really in a position to judge someone else's life, even if we hold strong opinions that (in this case) that person is oppressed?

What seems wrong to us is not necessarily wrong.

This would be more fun if posted in the Political forum.

While you make some very valid points CG, the difference being is that freedom is for all, not just some, or one sex.

For that matter, the religion that supports that practise also endorses suicide bombing, killing anyone who doesn't believe in what they do etc etc etc.

Put it another way: at one point in our history we felt it was totally justifiable and entirely legal (on the US's part), to shoot on site, native americans, and enslave negros.

Just because it is done, and one doesn't know any better, doesn't make it "right"
