WHY A WEARING BURQA AIN’T FREEDOM OF RELIGION

As reported by China’s People’s Daily Online (English version)

“The soldiers caught Mullah Mahmood garbed in a Burqa, a kind of traditional all-covering robe for Afghan women, at a checkpoint in Panjwai district on Tuesday, the statement said.

“Mahmood, who [is] called as [sic] a senior Taliban commander and suicide attack facilitator for Kandahar province, was trying to escape from Panjwai when he was caught, it said.

“Afghan and the U.S.-led coalition forces captured six suspected al-Qaida terrorists in Nangarhar province on Wednesday morning.”

Wearing a burqa over here ain't no diff than wearing a Klansman's hood or a ski mask.
