Anyway, what would happen if a female from the west went to a muslim country and didnt cover up, she would be jailed or deported. Why should we behave differently towards them, especially as it appears they are taking the wee wee outa the dutch gov?

There was a comparison in the Times' article with a law that stopped football hooligans from covering their faces with scarves to hide their identity. I recall them doing this with their scarves some years back, and have to say that the effect was actually quite menacing, but it's hard to explain why. In colder climes however I have covered my face with a scarf as well, and it's an interesting comparison.
