Another misrepresentation. Where, please, did I condemn the _wearers_ of burqas ?? If anyone, I condemned their oppressors and the accomplices of them. > It is so sad that the common reaction to being presented with different PoVs > is to attack, deny, or seek to get rid of the irritant. That's what Lawry is doing to me on this list. So sad indeed. Btw I note that Lawry de Bivort, contrary to his announcement on the list, did not provide the "how-to" about asking burqa-wearers to me (although I took his offer). Seems he promises a bit too much. (What a cheap excuse that the how-to be "individual-, motive-, communication skill-, and location- specific" -- why not simply tell what _he_ did to make them talk?) Chris
