Especially in schools and for government documentation. How can someone in a veil be positively identified?

Most of the time it would be no problem. In cases where positive ID is needed then they should have to remove it so at least their faces can be seen.

Look, why shouldn't western societies allow women to wear the veil? We have freedom of religion in America. We Muslims want to make God pleased with us, and we must follow his commands. So if we get stripped of our rights to express religion, then we are breaking our connection to God. It's not like you have to look directly at the face to be identified. You could look at other records.

Yes they should it is our right as Americans to believe in what we want and for your other question no ones face looks just alike even with a veil on you can tell who a person is people who commit crimes all the time where hoods but they can still identify the people.

No. Wearing of veils is a form of woman hate that western societies need to resist. Freedom of religion has limits, even in America. We don't allow religious polygamy or animal sacrifice so there is precedence for limits.

Who cares? Why would we care if they wore a veil?
Why do we worry about government documentation when our politicians refuse to control our borders? And who is it that wants to verify our identification? Do we know who these people are?
If they wear to wear the veil, let them. It is supposed to be a free country.

The veil as in everything hidden except their eyes? There are times when I think they should not be allowed to wear it such as while driving as it may effect their vision or in a courtroom where facial expressions are helpful in determining honesty. Other than that, I don't see a problem.
May God Bless you.

Well here in America we have something called freedom of religion. That means, if that is how a woman wants to worship and show devotion to her god, why the hell shouldn't she be allowed to. Also, as far as I know, there is no dress code against wearing veils on the law books. If I put one on, nobody would say **** to me cuz I'm white.

Yes, I see no reason not too. Perhaps they could be required to wear an identifying tag if they have their face covered?

Yeah on their own time.
Interesting how Muslims demand nonMuslims accept their cultural and religious "rights" but don't want to give the same rights to non Muslims in Muslim countries.
