I am like King David with His Sling Shot before Golith and the Evil Army Refresh my memory, because I can't remember the exact passage that refers to King David talking a lot about stuff he knew nothing about.

Actually Freckles, many of our students wear Burkas, here in the US, because they choose to. It is part of their religion and culture and they WANT to follow that path. They do have a choice, studying here in the US, and they have the intelligence and education enough to make an informed decision.
I'm sure you would not appreciate people insulting your personal or religious choices - and Christianity has CERTAINLY done enough harms in the past (and present) that people can point to! There are some women who may be forced by their family, just as some Christian girls are forced, to do or wear things they would not choose to, but that doesn't justify slamming a whole culture, or especially a style of dress.
It is admirable to wish to defend people, Freck, but make sure that what you are defending them FROM is something they wish to escape.

Didn't the Pilgrims travel to the New World to escape harassment and religious persecution??? Isn't this the foundation of our country?

We didn't land on Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock landed on us!

And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David’s soul, he shall be chief and captain. (2 Samuel 5:6.) /Gettething me up the gutter //Gonna smite me some Jebusites
