How many women in the UK actually wear a Bhurka or veil? According to the link posted it's 200,000. Wiki says there's around 2.4,000,000 Muslims in the UK, so that would mean 1 in 6 muslim women wear a bhurka or veil. Frankly, I find that hard to believe.

I mean, it's not as if women in Bhurkas are a common sight. Not around here anyway.
