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]

No one has to interact with society except when they want to.

[quote]The makers of our Constitution understood the need to secure conditions favorable to the pursuit of happiness, and the protections guaranteed by this are much broader in scope, and include the right to life and an inviolate personality -- the right to be left alone -- the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men. The principle underlying the Fourth and Fifth Amendments is protection against invasions of the sanctities of a man's home and privacies of life. This is a recognition of the significance of man's spiritual nature, his feelings, and his intellect.[/quote]

I agree with that, but that's not the question.  The PP stated that it impedes interaction with society, not that that's why it should be illegal.  But that it's motivated by a desire to control women, in party by impeding their ability to interact in society.
I think it's immoral for that reason.   Not that it should be illegal for that reason.
I think it should be illegal in public spaces for security reasons.[/quote]
