Surely, we are all being side tracked by a couple of ill chosen words by a bumbling fool who has repeatedly said stupid things in the past.

The real issue should be about women in the 21st century being forced into living in such a way and the fear of upsetting certain religious leaders allowing it to happen even when it's in defiance of our rules of life.

Would any of you be happy for your sister or daughter to marry a Muslim and be forced to dress and act in that manner?

We live in a free society, these women through either force or brainwashing, don't.
