It has to be banned !
Those that oppose it being banned, quite often hate the mechanism that will ban it, or will hate any form of control.
'Freedom' in this society is very limited, there are more things you can't do than those you can!
But the full face veil is wrong on many fronts.
It may be a religious "freedom"... but so is FGM !!!
The main reasons for a ban are...
The Niqab is a security risk. Any dress code that guarantees one group of people anonymity is unacceptable. This has nothing to do with women or religion.
The niqab is a symbol that signifies a refusal to assimilate into other cultures. A symbol that says, we will not evolve or change, but will remain a constant in history. Many who try to be tolerant towards religion and Islam in particular, accept that religion gets a “free pass” on some things, but will bite as soon as it is called “cultural”. There is an unfortunate debate on whether the niqab is required by Islam or not (there is nothing in the Quran that spells that out). So the debate goes back to religion when in fact, it has little to do with it.
The niqab puts the other party (non-niqabi) at a great disadvantage in any conversation.One person sees all full face expressions. One party gets a full unfettered stream of communication whereas the other limits it to audio.
