That's your interpretation. Women who cover their faces may very well believe that you aren't special enough to see them. The sight of their face is reserved only for special people, and you aren't one of them.

Absolutely. In my opinion, these complete coverings serve the purpose of isolating women from broader society and making them only interact with those of their own religious community of believers.

Your opinion is not based on facts or reality. The good thing about opinions is that they are just that. The niqab will remain, worn by women who feel liberated by it, and those who just love it.

It doesn't matter whether women love it, feel liberated by it, whether Muslim texts support it, or what Muslima's opinion of it is. It doesn't matter what intent the wearer has or cites. This covering limits interaction with the broader society and reinforces bonds within the faith. Wearing identifying garb and it's effects isn't unique to Islam, it's just that these coverings are extreme.

Really, do you think the Niqab promotes interaction with society or limits it to the select few?[/quote]
I think that you have no right to force someone to interact with you if they don't want to. [/quote]

notice how she didn't answer the question.[/quote]

What difference does it make? No, I don't think the niqab promotes interaction with a broader society. I also don't think it impedes it as much as you would like to pretend.  But more importantly, I think that forcing someone to uncover in the name of "broader interaction with society" is an act of violence.  It's up to every individual to decide how much interaction with a broader society they would like.  As long as they break no laws and do so voluntarily, their lifestyle is none of your business.

So, first you said the other person's view wasn't based in reality, but then you had to admit that they were actually right, but "it doesn't matter".  Okay.  Then, you don't know what "violence" means.   Move along -- no credibility here.[/quote]
