It wouldn't be something I would WANT to do..but would do it if it was required of me to be there. Which..would probably mean..I would never go there.

Found this little bit of humour.....

Man standing in the check-out queue at ASDA sees woman behind him dressed
in the usual BURKA, he notices she only has a bottle of milk to pay for’

"Is that all you have got love?" he askes, she nods, he smiles and says










"Then you better piss off then I’m gonna be ages with this lot"
uh oh grin cheers

I would cover when going to their temples and I would use a Burka in order to participate on some local (brief) activities but for everyday's life I would not but I would make my clothing to be conserva as a respect for their culture, even if I do not agree with it.

Bloody well said!

I also notice that her picture comment is that the code of dress she is wearing is the most popular in Europe....got me scratching my head at that comment.

WHAT IS IMPORTANT?-EVERYTHING IS IMPORTANT!

Guarding your mind is important, what you listen to imprints on your mind stream. You can probably remember your 16th birthday because the experience is imprinted upon your mind.
In Iran and other Moslem countries speakers call the believers to prays.
Looking at Faces of the Mullah's makes imprint, looking at women covering up makes imprint even the little round hats. Marvelling at Muslim art makes imprint.

no imprint = no karma

This. I would not want to offend people when I am a visitor in their country.
However, I also would worry that if I wear Niqab/Burka when I visit a muslim country, I would offend people. I don't think non-muslims are supposed to? Perhaps it's considered 'an honor that must be earned' ? I don't know. Maybe I'd consult someone who knows what's appropriate.
