	Italy's justice minister embroiled in burka row - World - theage.com.au
		Italy's justice minister, a member of the right-wing Northern League party, was today accused of fuelling anti-Islamic sentiment in Italy after saying he would fine women wearing the all-covering burka.
		Roberto Castelli said an Italian law banning the covering of a person's face in public would be applied to women wearing the full-length religious robe that hides the head and face.
		They said the comments were irrelevant because it was rare to see a woman dressed in a burka on Italian streets and that Castelli was fanning hysteria.

		The burka is a topic that has been well-covered in the US and as a woman myself it seemed like a personal jail woven out of fabric.
		I in no way have any desire to wear a burka or to even consider for a moment that women should walk the streets completely covered in stiffling material.
		So although I am saying that I don't view the burka as negatively as I did before, I have realized that the culture here does not make it easy for women to feel comfortable without the burka.

	What Are They Hiding? The Women Behind the Veil
		But for all the attention the burka and its impact on Afghan society are often misinterpreted, says Farzaneh Milani, PhD, associate professor of Persian and women's studies at the University of Virginia.
		For most Westerners and for many Afghan women, the burka is seen as being part of a more general oppression of women because it was enforced.
		But it also may be seen as something a woman should wear to appear modest and respectful." And in fact, the burka, when worn as such - and not as enforced by regime of religious fanaticism - is simply the manifestation of a basic Islamic tenet of religious purity.
