Christopher Hitchens on burkas.

“And that’s why I believe those women who deliberately try to legitimize this sinister garment in the free world, to make some sort of cock-eyed statement, I think those women are actively condoning and encouraging the oppression of other women on this planet for which I think they should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. I think what they are doing is deeply immoral. I think they are traitors to their gender and as a symbol of their religion or cultural identity they may as well be wearing a yellow star.”
