Wearing the full veil, or just the hijab is the choice of the one who has made this decision. Jack Straw's remarks are totally ridiculous and very insulting. I understand his point of view, however to many muslims religion comes first, and community relations afterwards. For Mr. Straw to say "I'll only help you if you take if off" is like me saying " I'll only talk to you if you take your shirt off". Its bizarre. Being a leading politician he should know better. You can totally tell facial expressions and you can determine body language to communicate well with many women. You dont neccessarily have to see everything to talk to someone.
The hijab/niqab is like us protecting our self respect, being forced to remove this piece of clothing is as if being molested and abused. I don't understand why this is such a big issue. Muslims are not all terrorists, you know.
Please be respectful with your comments, otherwise you will be reported. Thank you.
