Meh. I always considered women's veils as opressive, but hey... they (muslim women) want it as well, so I can't really argue about habits of a culture I don't really know. Other than that I'm all for cultural diversity and celebration of world's heritage and if they want to express it this way, more power to them. If we (westerners) condemn acts like this we'll be no less intolerant than muslim extremists are. We are the ones that need to teach Islam about a certain level of tolerance which they are more often than not. If we just go: "You're intolerant towards our culture so we'll be intolerant towards yours back..." we'll do nothing but spin around a vicious cycle.
