Is breast feeding more offensive than the burqa or hijab?

This article in the Daily Mail caught my eye.
My girlfriend is Arab, and she is offended to a point of near hysteria by the burqa, and to a lesser extent the hijab. She regards it as an abominable affront to human liberty and women everywhere.
Her entire family, from parents to cousins are the same way. And they were all born in the Middle East.
To make it more interesting, breast feeding is mandated by nature.
Covering women is mandated by Hadith, which is man-made.
So, what do you think?
