Niqab, why?

Not sure if this is the right place, if i were to wear a bike helmet and walk into a shop/ bank i would be asked to remove my helmet so the security cameras could see what i looked like but if a female were to wear a niqab and she walked into a shop/bank they wouldnt be asked to remove the niqab, surely its a contradiction No,

Why are you wasting time. You may find enough on this thread.

DC_FC have you uncovered a hidden burqa crimewave hitting our streets?
I dislike the veil intensely, I do find it offensive (I find it offensive when women walk around with their knickers hanging out) but if that is how they wish to express themselves then who am I to argue?
I've not had many dealings with veiled women, but what few I have, have been done in polite and amicable manner.
I fear this question is not Premier League R&S and should be relegated to C.B where your Jewell may shine a little more brightly. ;-)
I'm guessing you're a Rams man.for those who don't follow footy.

I have no problem with the veil, if its part of the culture, so be it.

Having said that, for security puposes, possibly in private, if asked to remove it for identification, then they should.

The veil is NOT required in Islam. They are forbidden to wear it at Makkah inside the Grand Mosque.
Wonder why it is allowed here.

Robb,
If your last wasn't as a response to mine, I apologise, but if it was, I never said it was required by Islam, just culture, which are two different things.

The women wearing niqaab, can show they're face to other females, so presumably if they were sereved by a female it wouldn't pose a problem?!

To my knowledge Niqab depends on the muslim person. Some women are more religious than others. Those that are, people should respect that. Look at these Nuns ? They only wear it cos they are religious, practicing Christians.

Same with all muslim people - some practice or a religious more than others.So they appear with big beards and hats. Just the way it is.
