This probably the one thing that makes me hate Bill Maher. Normally he is funny when he is "IM RIGHT AND YOU`RE WRONG! LALALALA! I CANT HEAR YOU!". But I don`t think that he`s solution to the burka problem is very good, enforce trade sanctions on them, which would only make them hate America even more.

If you look at how our society got to the point we are now, we have to look at the work that women have done for themselves, no one ever came to England can said "You treat your women like animals!" on a very large scale, the best thing we can do is culturally influence them over time and thus making the women revolt on their own. Doing business with a country which differs in culture always lead to the exchanging of ideas, be it philosophy, human rights, religion or simple traditions, they all spread with our friends.

In order to make those countries that are not like us, like us, we have to show them a good face so that people come here see how we live and accept it into their culture.

Simply going "You guys are evil!" will not make the situation any better. Still we shouldn`t condone their actions in anyway.

5/5, I totally forgot about the breast cancer and how it "isn`t" an issue in the middle east. Thats actually really sad.

Don`t worry Saudia Arabia, and the Middle East in general, will come around in the next 50 years or so when we don`t need their oil. They`ll eventually start to cater to western influences in order to get us to invest over there. Hell, they might eventually even have the best nude beaches. Wouldn`t that be a twist.

Guess what, who are we to say what is right or wrong in their country. Even this stuff... If it`s religious, who are we as outsiders to say, "Hey, that woman SHOULDN`T be forced to dress like that! You guys are animals!".

It`s not our place ok. The women of the west brought about the changes in our societies by standing up to the male dominance, and you know what, these women will have to do the same.

Western culture is not always right, western culture is not the only way of living. We cannot go around telling other cultures how they should live. This is their culture, now leave them be. If the women want change, then let them fight for the change within their culture. We will just look like the bad-guys if we insist that they are wrong.

I went to school with a girl who`s parents were from the Middle East, but she was born and raised in Canada. She wore blue jeans and tee-shirts, and `normal` everday wear throughout school. But after Highschool, she switched to wearing the Burka. I did not understand why, but was later informed she was proud of her heritage, and felt more comfortable in it. This is just one experience, but to say as Bill Maher and his panel that it is horrible to treat women this way, and that no woman would want to dress like that, I think is being awfully judgemental. Look at the, `White Trash` North American girls that parade around in super low cut jeans, and enough make-up to paint the sixteenth Chapel tens times over. This is not such a black and white issue, as these bafoons would have you beleive...

To lay all responsibility on the victims here (the women), is WRONG.

I stand firm and justified in judgement of these men and their flawed culture. THEY ARE WRONG, FUNDAMENTALLY AND ABSOLUTELY WRONG. LET US ALL BE CLEAR AND UNITED IN THIS JUDGEMENT.

Show me a man who dares treat a woman like that in my presence, and I will show him an act of greater violence. It is INTOLERABLE. I draw the same kind of line here as I do against the abuse of children: would you stand idilly by and do nothing? These people need to evolve immediately, and we should be one of the hard driving forces behind that, because we know better, and they clearly do not.

Burkas are the tip of what`s wrong with this situation. There is so much so badly wrong, that we don`t even know the half of it. From their place of ignorance and error, they seem to understand even less about what the way forward is. We owe it to their women to teach them, as hard as needs be.

What I lament is that our governments are facist. If they did the work of the people, instead of the corporations, then this kind of chauvanism and abuse would get solved in a big hurry. This is a real reason to be at war with Islam, to make them free their women from slavery and torture. I think they would see the light rather quickly if we made them. The war of theft and extermination we are running now is nothing they should or will ever concede to, but this issue holds fundamental truths, and they would soon see the benefits of learning and admitting them.

It is a sick and perverse way of life that makes a child choose between torture/death/banishment and their freedom. Would you have it for your daughter? I will kill ANYONE who treats my daughter like this. You all should DEMAND no less.
