All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.
I have been arguing for ages that this burqa thing is a recent Saudi invention, I traveled extensively in the middle East and Africa 1960-75 and I hardly saw veils. The photos give a link to the Library of congress and the first thing I found there was the Abdul Hamid II collection, Ottoman empire 1880-93. Right on the very first page are a lot of photos of girls schools in the caliphate, not a veil, let alone a burqa in sight.
