Mona Lisa in veil
The Paris Match magazine in its Dec. 17 issue published an interview with the French State Minister for Human Rights Rama Yade. The first question was, "Turkey recently removed a Delacroix painting from text books. Do you think freedom of expression is going backward?" The minister emphasized the importance of the freedom of expression and touched upon cultural relativism and women rights.
Conservative Islam with a smiling face
For most people, especially westerners, the all-covering black chador is a sign of the repression of women. And it often really is. Authoritarian Islamist regimes such as Saudi Arabia force their female citizens to wear these "niqabs," which turn the latter into BMO’s, i.e., "Black Moving Objects," as tourists sometimes call them. The shapeless veil deprives women of their personality and turns them into exiles from society.
