The same cannot be said for the hijab, you can still see the person's face. If niqab was banned, UK would still be one of the best countries for religious freedom. Compare to other countries like Islamic ones, in Saudi Arabia you can't practice any other religion except Islam publicly and other religious buildings such as Christian churches are banned. Overall point, UK is secular and there is big religious freedom - however, there must be balance and if most of the population feels unsafe because of the niqab then it is perfectly acceptable for it to be banned.

What is so interesting to me about this subject is that many countries around the world where Muslims are immigrating to are having difficulty with the Muslims integrating into the cultures they have chosen and asked to be a part of but fail to consider that culture and do nothing to ease their own way, or the way of the citizens of that country. 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.

It was so funny and sad to see a lady in veil eat at an eatery with her husband and kids. She literally took the food in a fork under the veil to her mouth everytime with so much difficulty. While her husband was wearing a t-shirt and denim and enjoying his meal. How more pathetic can this become.

No they don't. All the Quran says is that men and women should dress modestly, ie not in. a way as to draw undue attention to themselves. The concept of "Islamic" dress is therefore unIslamic.

It is not at all incredible. They are brainwashed to support and promote Islam and its expansion before everything else.

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.
