Hides behind the fact its her religion that makes her wear it and is allowed to keep it on. Unfair but true I'm afraid

Forget religious reasons. The origin of the veil yashmak burka etc. was a sandstorm protector in the desert.
As for the argument on helmets/burka, it's not a case of keeping either on for religious reasons, it's so the CCTV can identify bank robbers. If the authorities allow veiled women in banks, I'd be tempted to don a burka and stage a holdup in the nearest bank.
The issue is that they're not necessary in the west, we don't have sandstorms. Ban the hideous things. If that can't be done, wearers shouldn't be allowed to drive a car for safety reasons, allowed in a bank or post office, regularly checked by the police to establish the sex of the wearer.

Selectived religous belief.
Should a follower of islam actually be in a bank anyway?........... if they are so determined to follow the religous dictact then isnt money frowned upon, as much as yasmaks are prescribed ?

So you keep your motorcyle helmet on for religious reasons? How can you make such a comparison? Ok, there is a need to see someone's face for security reasons, but you can't make such a comparison. It would be like shaving off a Rabii's sideburns, or making a nun take off their head covering. Religious reasons vs. other reasons. You have to respect that!

She puts on your helmet and sings a little song. And turns out to be Elvis.

Isn't that something! I guess you can't say motorcycle helmets are part of your religion

People are just afraid if they can't see your face inside of a bank. It sounds dumb, but they just want security.

keep it on as a sign of respect to her religion. your helment is for safety on the road and is not needed in the bank.

she takes it off, probably when she takes a shower
you wouldn't leave your helmet on when you take a shower would you?
