Britain's Niqab: Should it be worn in the UK?

The Quran only states that women should dress modestly. It does not say they should be completely veiled and only allowed to show their eyeballs. The veil is completely banned now in some countries like France.

(from Quran.com) The verse (60.8) mentioned, says "Allah does not forbid you from dealing kindly and fairly with those who have neither fought nor driven you out of your homes. Surely Allah loves those who are fair." Please don't quote the Quran claiming such statements without being fully knowledgeable. At the time of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the Christians, Jews, and polytheists were oppressing the Muslims and actively going to war, killing them, and driving them out of their homes. Hence the verse, Allah only forbids us from being friends with the tribes that are in a state of war and giving them information that would help them attack the Muslims. Otherwise, there are many hadith (preserved sayings of the Prophet pbuh) that explicitly say to be kind to Christians and Jews. To oppress them or anybody regardless of faith would be a sure way ticket to hellfire which we do not want.

Douglas Murray occupies a singular position in many ways. He is an openly gay man and has been all his adult life. At the same time, he doesn't believe sexual preference is a good foundation for "community." He doesn't believe there is really such a thing as "non-binary" as, with rare exceptions, a person has either male or female genitals. Nor does it believe it is possible for a person to completely transform oneself into a member of the other gender. He often takes positions that might be unexpected. I may not completely agree with him but there is certainly more than just modesty at issue here. No one is insisting these women wear miniskirts or low-cut blouses and the like. As a gay man, Murray has little interest in ogling women's attributes. But people are identified by their faces and obscuring the face is in its own special category.

The deaf community requested that people serving customers be provided with transparent masks. In some (not enough) instances this was done. Had my mother been alive during that time and could not see through a mask to lipread she would have requested a person with a transparent mask to serve her if possible, and if it was not possible she would have been unable to communicate, just as she was when faced with an assistant wearing a veil. That would have happened regardless of the race of the person. Before you scream racism in all cases try thinking.

In short, they have no consideration for the culture they are asking to belong to and expect instead to be accommodated. This is why so many countries are now slamming their doors shut to Muslims and even deporting them. They must consider that their way of being is very foreign to non-Muslim cultures and it is they who must adapt, not the citizens of the countries that are allowing them in.

I happened upon this video by chance. This was 10 years ago. I do not think multiculturalism has worked out well for Western society. Since there have been quite a few Jihadist incidents in Western cities, I would venture to say many people who are not Muslim would be frightened if they saw a person wearing a full burka a hajib and a niqab with only their eyes visible. This might work well for Muslim women in traditional Muslim countrues where this type of dress is the norm, but not in mainstream Western society. Whatever happened to When in Rome do as the Roman's do? I think respecting the norms of a society puts the majority of the people more at ease. Furthermore, as far as schools are concerned, educators found that certain types of garb are distractinfg to the students and incite behavioral problems. Hence, uniforms for students are now becoming more of the norm.

Multiculturalism. That's what people all go back to... This is a religious issue Multiculturalism refers to (1) the state of a society or the world in which there exists numerous distinct ethnic and cultural groups seen to be politically relevant; and (2) a program or policy promoting such a society.

[@biancamare1]

I think the biggest issue is that in Western culture we read mannerisms, facial expressions and this forms either trust or no trust between people. I myself watch how people interact with others and their behaviour before interacting with them and barring this will decide whether or not I wish to engage. This is how I am in general with all humans and this is why others don’t feel comfortable interacting with a black sheet and a voice, we need interaction where we can see a person. This is not what it means to be human, we are born naked - we should be feeling the sun on our skin, we should be able to smell the fresh air and to be able to swim in the ocean and lie on grass with nature on our bodies. It’s super strange to me that one would hide from this privilege when they can be free.

Wilfully ADDING exclusive garments is quite simply EXCLUSIVE ...and can NEVER promote an INCLUSIVE society...unless we force the majority to ALSO adopt the exclusive garment.The logic is plain.Therefore argument is pointless.

I believe that when you go to a country, you should adapt to it. If adapting is uncomfortable, consider returning to the country you originate. Don't swear false vows at court to "naturalize" if you don't uphold the values you are being asked to swear to. Don't stay for the "higher wages" and make excuses.

[@kerrinnell]

In Afghanistan woman are banned from showing their faces or speaking in public. I want to be a part of a culture of freedom. No one should be banned from wearing a Niqab if it is their choice to. (with the exception of places like; courts of law, hospitals, police etc. where it is important to be able to see someone's face to establish trust etc.) I think the issue lies with the fact that it is perceived as being a tool of the oppression of women and a form of othering and keeping people at bay. A woman should have the freedom to make the choice for herself without persecution from her religion, family, or public. Freedom of choice is the main point.
