How do we know what that woman wore? Most people in that area wore covering clothing (both male and female ) because it protected them from sun and sand. as to the layers colors etc we really have no clue, nor do we know that she even existed.Why do Islamic Woman wear the Burka?

why do you throw that up there (a picture from thousands of years ago representing a faith that you personally endorse) calling other people stupid like that is supposed to be some kind lead that makes misogyny acceptable.Why do Islamic Woman wear the Burka?

It isn't, and your opinion is just that and if you think you are being open minded and culture-friendly you aren't. You are just helping to perpetuate a myth designed to keep the woman in her place. Not all Muslim men believe it, or support it, only fearful repressive men.
You need to really think about what you are supporting here Petros by your rabid refusal to examine the issue. If you believe in equally for human beings you can not be okay with this.
There are times, GH, when one should 'Gracefully exit the discussion'. This si one of those times. You are really starting to irritate....
Actually not," good" because the last time I told you what I really thought about your strange tactics
you threw a major on board tantrum.
I know plenty of sexually frustrated young men who have never committed rape or attempted it. You don't need to be covered from head to toe to protect yourself from them. You just need to instil some common sense in the men. If anything I imagine the Burka could make things worse. Its a lot easier to commit a crime when you cant actually see your victim's face - or anything else. Makes it easier to dehumanize them.
The women that wear it believe it is said in the Koran that God tells them to wear it for reasons already mentioned in this thread (only allowing their husbands to see their beauty and not entice other men) , there are other Muslim women who don't believe it says that and so they don't wear it.That's my simple understanding of it anyways..
So to say it's not mentioned in the Koran isn't accurate, it's open to interpretation .
Is there any actual Muslims here that can explain it better?

Well now that you ask, I don't like the brainwashing part that leads to burka wearage.
I don't like brain washing a female into believe she is less than and dirty and provocative, and then making her cover up because showing skin is immodest.
I don't like that part either.
Westerners do not understand how pervasive such pressure can be. On July 17, 2010, for example, the newspaper Roz Al-Yousuf addressed the coercive nature of hijab in Egypt. Wael Lutfi, assistant chief editor writes in the first person feminine:
Society persecutes women who do not wear a hijab. Of course, I wear a hijab. If I want to be practical and interact with this society while [sustaining] minimal damage, I must wear a hijab. A woman who does not wear a hijab is guilty until proven [innocent]. Why should I waste my time proving that I am a respectable and educated girl?
Lutfi tells "Suha's" story. She comes from a prominent Egyptian family and does not wear a hijab. At work, she is cajoled and harassed by hijab-wearing women who bombard her in person and via e-mail; they give her pro-hijab audio cassettes and invite her to hear a popular preacher whom hijab-wearers follow. Suha loses one marriage proposal after another when she refuses to promise that she will wear the hijab and stop working after marriage. Finally, Suha's married male boss questions her closely, agrees with her anti-hijab position—and then asks her to secretly become his common law wife. He views her as a prostitute because she is not wearing the hijab.

Great, that's in Egypt, not in Canada. It appears to me that you and Sal are advocating doing the same thing in Canada as they do in Egypt, only instead of harassing those that don't wear a Hijab, instead you harass those that do. Where's the difference....oh I know....don't tell me..... you guys are doing it for the womens own good.:roll:
