This whole thread raises some interesting questions.

When does it cease to be OK to say something about someone's religion? While it is obviously never OK to say (for instance) that religion reqires child abuse, is saying the way *certain* Muslim women are required to dress is a form of bondage (it's worth pointing out here that I read an article in the Evening Standard 2 or 3 years back that was written by a Muslim women which went even further than this and said Muslim women's wear is sometimes used to hide evidence of rape and serious physical abuse)? Would it have been OK for the Muslim woman to say the Christian fascination with the Cross (on which their Messiah died) is a sign of a fascination with death, or some sort of celebration of His death?
