[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]To be clear, the niqab ban is not on headscarves per se, but it is a ban on face coverings like the niqab and burqa. The reasons given often relate to security ([b]like our ban on shouting "fire" in a theater[/b]), also France's tradition of using facial expressions to communicate. Also, it has been argued that the niqab is not necessarily a religious duty under Islam, because the Quranic verses would seem to refer to covering the hair and/or chest, but they don't clearly mention the face. [/quote] Since this is the second time in this thread I've seen a poster claim that "shouting fire in a crowded theatre" is banned in the US, it is probably worth clarifying that the Supreme Court case that made such a ruling was overturned. So, while I don't recommend it, you can legally shout fire in a crowded theatre. [/quote]
