That's an interesting way of putting it. I imagined it this way:
"You might view this attire as an attempt to smother my identity, when in fact it's concealing the peace that I have which no one can steal. Don't believe me, do you?"
The wall is parted to reveal her truth. Her truth is immortalized.
I realize of course that this is my own fanciful projection, and I can't possibly guess the degree of disillusionment or hope the woman has. I have no idea what her opinion is on the burqa. Is it forced on her? Is it her choice? Is she looking forward to the day where she can cast it off? Has she fallen to accepting it as the fated beehive suit that will constrain her for the rest of her public life? Or maybe she's learned to appropriate it to empower her with the secrecy and security it affords her, laughing at the ridiculous futility of those androcentric religious fanatics in their mistaken belief that they are suppressing <i>her</i>. What pretentious idiots. They control <i>nothing</i>.

If they are offensive to some people those people can simply click them away can't they. Also they could fall in the amazing category... Amazing as in that we allow these kinds of thing on this planet... Egocentric human behavior all the way I suppose <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" /> Lets just chalk it up to personal preference of what is supposed to be amazing. Or the moderators can jump in an kill any violation in their opinion <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
Now lets get this futile discussion out of this thread and continue with the amazing images shall we ^____^

I vote for the graboid variant of sandworms. The legendary Giganticus graboiticus maximus <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" /> I bet Burt would have a gun for that as well., Actually his grizzly would do the job just fine:
