[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sure if you 'choose to wear it's lovely, but if you are forced to a ball and chain for many. I imagine thats why France banned it - in solidarity with  many hundreds of millions of women who have NO choice. And to send a message, that wont be happening even one time in France. Maybe there would be lots who wore it freely in France but then the teen girl whose family bullies her into it. Not worth it it sounds like. Especially since some of their neighborhoods sound so closed to police etc  - how would they even investigate? These girls would be swallowed up into silence. We are still looking for that awful taxi driver in Texas who honor killed his lovely teen daughters as he thought they were too western.[/quote]

It is subjugation - plain and simple.  And while many may disagree with me, I've seen my fair share of young girls in the US forced to cover.  Many have been angry and resentful, and their feelings have come across very clearly in their writing assignments and artwork.

An educational setting - like a courtroom - should level the playing field.  Allowing young women to explore who they are OUTSIDE of their religious belief system is healthy, imo.  Religion should not define WHO we are.  Unfortunately, this isn't the case with Islam.  [/quote]
Forcing women to uncover is as barbaric as forcing them to cover. [/quote]

Who is being forced?  They are being given choice.

The one thing I would agree with is not having faces covered, because that is an issue of security.  There have been many cases of child kidnappings happening by people who had their faces covered, there have been robberies, there have been instances of terror attacks involving men disguised as women with their faces covered, et cetera.  This means, suspects cannot be identified.  Covering one's face is a security problem.[/quote]
Banning niqab is taking one choice away.

You just got a bunch people killed in France, with not a single face cover in sight.  I don't see the security problems going away, do you?[/quote]
