Got to respect culture and religion and all that. However, for those who do have a free choice it is without doubt a political uniform. It's far more in evidence now than it's ever been.
"There exists no single reason why women may wear the burqa, and this practice must be understood within a particular social context. A woman may wear it to express her piety, her views on sexual modesty, her rejection of Western notions of sexuality, her desire for increased mobility or privacy in a social environment dominated by men, or her membership in a political movement. In the most publicized context, women were required, often against their will, to wear the burqa by the Taliban as a matter of policy during their rule of Afghanistan."
Some Muslim babies do wear the hijab. Never seen one in a niqab. If you've never seen a woman wearing a burkha ,come to Burnley, Rochdale, Haslingden and you'll see lots.
It's a strange sight to see a woman in a full burkha holding her little child's hand and the child is wearing all western clothes. T-shirt, trainers, tights etc.
