"Arab/wearing veil?we have no table for you...". Paris racist restaurant

Nobody is expected to cover the face, in Egypt you can get kicked out of certain places if you wear face cover -visit the AUC in Cairo to check what I'm saying-:

The head yes, but the face no ! who told you that? only some do it

When I hear the word veil, I think it means the face too.

I link it to the "scarf" mostly; that doesn't include the face:

noun
a piece of fine material worn by women to protect or conceal the face.
a white bridal veil
synonyms: mask, scarf, kerchief, head covering, headdress, dupatta, purdah, mantilla, chador, hij

No, Atlas is right (I had to look it up, not being an authority on the subject) - women covering up regards only the body and the hair.  Some women voluntarily cover the face, but there is nothing in Islam requiring them to do so. Iran and (I think) Saudi Arabia require the veil, but that's a political position, not a religious one.

Actually it's one of the very ironic points of criticism I have against Sunni Islam: Women are prohibited to cover their faces during prayer.
Covering the face is a mere Nomadic habit that existed in Arabia long before Islam. Saudi Arabia used it as a part in their vicious campaign against women that included preventing females from driving cars, preventing them from traveling alone, and so on. Totally political.
