Another argument in the fight to ban burqas

These two requirements are probably not going to peacefully coexist:
Most men would end up visiting the cities to look for their bride.
and
Anyone who interferes will be severly punished. Any woman is allowed to come live there.

My impression is that men who are looking for women are not going to leave the women alone.

At least not coexist peacefully. The fun would be protecting the cities and ONLY letting in the men willing to court, marry, and allow the woman to continue living there as she had before. Be a city law. Eventually all the jerks would be without women and maybe the custom would change.

women need a refuge from the odious pressures of their societies, yet still withing the over all community.

The reason for the burqa is so that women's beauty doesn't drive men crazy with lust and cause them to engage in sexual conduct, rape, murder and all those pleasant things. Men are seen as not only completely blameless in all of this, but are viewed as victims of women's allurements. Now if that's not turning the world upside down, I don't know what is.

I think that there should be a UN resolution that the burqa and other symbols of Islamic oppression of women should be ruled against. The whole thing is sexism at its second worst, surpassed by female circumcision which is a misleading name for what is in effect the removal of the ******** using razor blades, pieces of glass, flint, and almost any other sharp objects. That is trully appalling and should be condemned as deliberate mutilation which is made illegal by the international community.

Of course all of this will make the conflict between the Islamic world and the West even worse, but it doesn't have to happen tomorrow, merely become a condition for aid in any situation other than a natural disaster.
