As a Muslim myself, i know that if anyone forced me to uncover my hijab (hair cover), i'm pretty sure i'd take the case to the supreme court.
But the facial veil is an entirely different story.
Although it should be our own free will/choice.
I don't like it.
It doesn't change who one is and it doesn't make them closer to God.
And in my city, it has led to car accidents. Like this woman was driving, couldn't see the corner of the lane, totally rammed into someone else.
So in my opinion, i don't think women should wear it if they're going to drive or do things that require fully equipped eyes.
And teaching... i don't think it's a good idea to teach with a veil because it's really important for kids to see facial movements and facial expressions. It just heightens the lessons taught and makes them feel closer to the teacher. Perhaps it sets some students off so they don't want to learn or ... whatever, you know?
I might get a lot of hate mail for this...
But yeah, Muslims should be made to remove their facial veils in certain situations. Not the hair cover, but the facial cover.

Although Europe and America are generally tolerant of different religions there are some instances where a women would need to remove her veil. For example if she were getting an Id photo like on a drivers license she has to remove the veil. They argue against this but that is the law that applies to everybody without exception. If they refuse they just don't get a license.

The veil cover the face a cranium cap is largely a hats. i think of Muslims women ought to have the skill to opt for yet I challenge with regard to the police having the flexibility to question them or become conscious of a suspect and how do all of us understand in the event that they are women under the gown if basically the eyes a seen and what else is hidden. i become quite suspicious a pair of years in the past as quickly as I observed some one dressed as a Muslim woman yet whilst they went up the stairs that they had men's trousers and shoes on. I do understand what Jack Straw ment whilst he pronounced he could like the barrier bumped off throughout and interview. The Koran would not say it quite is a non secular requirement basically a private determination.

I would say that if she's teaching in a church-based school, no problem with the veil. If she's in a non-church affiliated school, then she needs to leave it at home and interact with people on the basis of the group norm. I don't believe that people who do not respect my beliefs should expect me to respect theirs.

I think that Muslim teachers shouldn't wear the veils in the classroom as I would think that their voices would be muffled to a degree and that would be unfair to the pupils that sit at the back of the classroom. I think that they should be able to wear their scarves if they wish, but I personally would like to see their faces if and when I speak to them

sometimes people use veils not for their religious belives, just show their politic ideas and this situation cause some caos in societies...if a woman use her veil according 2 her belives she can use we should respect her..cuz everyone has a religious belief, we can love or not but we gotta respect them!!! but if her aim is politic and cause some troubling events it must be forbidden by government....( in scholls, when works public areas etc...) cuz peace in society is the first thing that sould be arranged...

Let people wear what they want. I don't understand why people are afraid of a small bit of material.
