I am not being ignorant nor racist I am purely curious. When I am having a conversation with someone I can learn alot about how someone feels by an expression or a frown etc.

Very few women wear the niqab or face veil. Most women just cover their hair. However, to show emotion, a person uses a particular tone of voice. For example, the angry voice is different in pitch, intensity and volume. Body language can be misleading. Not everyone shows his truee feeling by facial expression. Even when a Muslim woman removes her face veil, she would not make eye contact when speaking with a man. It says in the Qur'an to lower the gaze.

A lot of mediterranean cultures are very expressive with their hand and arm gestures. Perhaps it is a similar thing.
Perhaps its all via the eyes.
Perhaps one of the reasons for wearing such attire is to prevent the show of expressions or emotions in conversation?
All just thoughts...

We deal with it. It is Islamic and what ALLAH wants of women. Of course hardly any women actually cover their faces in public. Take a look at Iraq and all the other countries that allow the women to go walking around showing their charms to strange men. I do not wear veil yet but as soon as my friend comes to Ohio I am going to make sure I abide by the Islamic laws set down regarding women and keep my entire face covered as it is deemed in the Holy Qur'an. Sura 24 verses 30-31: "Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and gaurd their modesty; that will make for greater purity for them. And God is well-acquainted with all that they do. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and gaurd their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except before their husbands, fathers... (and certian other members of the household); and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments."

First of all, women DO NOT HAVE TO cover their faces in Islam... as a matter of fact, in Mecca, when Muslim men and women do the annual pilgrimage, women CANNOT cover their faces... so, it beats me why some women still choose to cover their faces...
May be what you're talking about is the reason they're asked not to cover their faces...

Allah is supposed to have dictated it but of course, like the fairies at the bottom of the garden, he/she/it doesn not really exist. It's just a ploy by the enforcers (men) to continue denigrating women. Much like red deer or elephant seals, protecting their harem.
Because they are easily seduced, the men assume that women are as bad, plus they realise that other men will watn to take their wives for their own purposes. It's easier than being a loving caring person whose wives wouldn't want to leave them for other men.

I completely agree with Jack Straw.
If we had a conversation and i had a balaclava and sun glasses on, you would see that as being extremely bad manners.
The full veil is worn by choice, nothing to do with religion which allows the face of a woman to be shown.
Yet again, we are all being blackmailed by Muslims to allow them to do what they want, everyone is scared to say NO including the Police.

The eyes are extremely expressive. My friend wore a veil when she was around her parents. I could tell her emotions by her eyes.

Because in their society, what they think of feel does not matter, they are treated as inferior and yet they are made to believe that they are superior, I guess it is a lack of education. Their intelligence is measured by their ability to memorize the quoran, but that is where it stops, other subject does not matter, which affects their level rational.
