so Belgium has had its veil ban upheld as lawful by the EU court of human rights.
I have always wondered why they're not banned here ? You can't go into a bank with a motorcycle helmet on for obvious reasons. In our society we are are all open about our identity and are suspicious of those who hide.

Who are you?
Who are you, as a species we identify each other by our faces. When you can't see someone's face you are instinctively suspicious.
Now I fully support anyone's right to wear what they want within reason. So for example covering your face is not allowed in rioting, and motorcyclist's are asked to remove their helmets on entering banks. So what about police we can't identify? Suppose its fair enough when they are in riot gear but the rest, shouldn't we have the right to recognize them? So no veils etc. Sorry. This is Britain.
So some people don't get it, they ARE, using the dress as a religious statement and in the context of French rules that is the issue. Not WHAT you wear.

Why Cover Up
I am for Religious Freedom, but in our country we are open and honest. Why hide?
Its our basic freedom, we know those with something to hide HIDE so why do some people insist on these niqabs?
They can be exploited for evil. It does no good.
When there are riots on the street the thugs cover up to hide their identity and it is now law the police can make them uncover so why are these veils different.
People going into Building Societies/Banks are not allowed to wear MotorCycle Helmets so these folk to should uncover.
I remember when Sikhs protested about not being allowed to wear Turbans instead of Helmets - they lost. A Turban will not save you in a crash.
Now its all about terrorism - we need to be able to identify people. If you've nothing to hide why should you care. It is our culture after all. What they do in other countries is up to them. If we go abroad we have to respect their society.
Now we see a rebellion amongst women - they must be free to choose, this must not be imposed on them - equality?
