Well PN, that just goes to show that you have never really bothered to research Pakistan.

I live in Lahore, where seeing a woman in burkha is the exception rather than the rule. Such is the case in most of the PUnjab. All major cities save those in the northern pushtun areas are pretty much burkha less.

Some women feel more comfortable with burkhas.. and peace to them dude.. if that is how they want it they may have it.. but it is not mandated by law, it is not enforced by society and it certainly does not prevent the lahori women from decking themselves up and providing us guys with something pleasant to rest our eyes on.

I mean heck Lahore is KNOWN for how colorfully the girls dress up. And that in spite of being "muslim". And in any case you ought to take a trip to Malaysia , Indonesia or DUbai just to get an idea of how it looks. These places you can see a woman in burkha walk next to a woman in jeans.. it's great.
