I wonder whether those supporting this practice of sequestration would enjoy seeing it inflicted it on their own wives and children. Approving of such practices is a perfect example of political correctness gone haywire. Religion  has nothing to do with the veil; it is a cultic practice that has no place in modern society. In our open, free culture, it isolates, inhibits and degrades the user, frightens others, and is pragmatically absurd. Stop supporting this practice ! Wake up ! It's not good for anyone, and if practiced by choice, would seem masochistic at best. The only persons who literally enjoy seeing women veiled are backward, ignorant and culturally-deprived males who wish to assert domination or  proprietorship over women, or who wish to perpetuate a male-dominated society.
