Wow, you really don't know anything about Muslim countries or Islam, and yet have such strong opinions.  Perhaps you shouldn't rely upon the mainstream media and actually get to know some Muslims yourself.  As we've repeatedly seen over the past year, the media is extremely unreliable and promotes private agendas via sensationalized stories.

First, face coverings are NOT mandatory for women in Islam and are not required in even the most "strict" countries (e.g., Saudi Arabia).  Secondly, women are far from second class citizens, and the Quran mandates that they be treated equally to men.  Third, women who wear head coverings in Canada do it by choice.  Lastly, Islam is far from the only religion where women cover their heads.  Ever seen an Orthodox Jewish woman?  She not only has to cover her head but also shave it.  Where's the outrage there?

People can choose to live their lives how they wish.  As an open society, we should embrace that spirit rather than judge based on the media
