    the burqaBy: matrim couthon | 09-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward Ms. Zakaria would have us believe that the burqa is a cultural icon. these people have double standards- if you go to the middle east you have to follow their laws but when arabs come to the west then all westerners have to follow what the arabs say.
    Unmasking the burqaBy: Venki | 09-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward Why is this an issue for us in India, since anything goes as far as dress is concerned here? Although Sarkozy's ideas are retrogressive, let the French debate what is appropriate attire in their country, just as conservative Islamic West Asian countries would deem your Gap shorts inappropriate and not allow you to wear them there.
