Saudi Arabia needs a burqa ban

SAUDI ARABIA NEEDS A BURQA BAN. Women defy government ban on driving and post videos of themselves driving around town. Of course the veil makes it harder to identify them.

I guess those Islamic scholars who insisted that the burqa was a liberation have a point.

    I linked to this at Samizdata, and it was commented that you should have said hijab rather than burqa. Is that right?
