I take exception to the author mentioning Burkha and Sati in the same vein. Burkha or Hijab is for the modesty of women. Muslim women wear the hijab not because the muslim men have forced them to do so . It is because Allah has commanded them to do so. We muslims dont want our women to be marketed on the streets in the name of Art & culture. Islam stands for upliftment of women. When 1400 yrs ago women were being buried alive.......Islam gave economic rights to women. Covering the body modestly does not amount to opression. We muslims are totally aginst objectification of women. women are being used as objects for business development, leading to moral depravity and the degradation of the soul.
