“Basically I want people to know that when I choose to cover this way it’s because I am fighting against a systematic oppression against women in which women’s bodies are being sexualized and objectified. This is a different perspective and a different form of empowerment in which I think when I’m in public, my sexuality is in my control and people have to deal with my brain and who I really am and not judge me by my body. And if we really want to talk about the oppressive situation of women, let’s talk about all of the eating disorders, all of the plastic surgeries, all of the unhealthy diets that are being done, all in the name of having a perfect body. To me, this (niqab) is liberating and empowering.”

And THAT is coming from a woman wearing the niqab! Does she sound oppressed to you? If you think, then you’re probably really retarded or something. It’s idiotic to say every woman wearing the veil is oppressed, WHEN the majority wear it by CHOICE.
