The niqab and any other form of veil is not religious... it's cultural... it's geographical.
In the desert, in the blistering sun, it makes sense to cover your face and hair.
In Paris, France... it makes absolutely no sense!
If one culture, one country, doesn't want that form of face hiding, they're entitled to it.
If one culture refuses to let go of that face hiding, while attempting to become citizens of the country which doesn't want it... well then... we have a problem...
And, as it tends to be in these countries, democracy wins.
The will of the majority of the people, represented by the government and the laws they pass, wins over the will of of a few stubborn immigrants.
They move out of their country and into the other for a reason... If they find that they must wear some stupid piece of clothing which isn't allowed in that country, then they should move out to some country where the piece of clothing is welcomed.... like, back in the home they left.
And then there's a hundred different cases where things aren't like this... screw it.
If you want to do something that is illegal in one place, but legal in another, you should move to where it's legal, or face the legal consequences of your actions.
