Two interesting things. First, it appears that the Britons who are upset about the veil are talking past the Muslim-Britons: the Muslim-Britons see it as a political and free speech issue. Why is it not perceived that way? And (a related) second, I wonder to what degree attitudes against the veil are anti-Muslim attitudes being expressed symbolically?

Muslimahs wearing the veil in Western nations have come to symbolize the political ideology of conquest behind the veil, not unlike the swastika of 60 years ago. Innocuous? Free speech? To free people, this garb represents slavery however self imposed. What's next, looking the other way to honor killings and cliterectomies?
