View Full Version : Poll About "ban On Face Veil", please vote No

Assalam-u-alaikum

Kindly vote No to the poll "should face veil be banned in schools?"

http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/6466221.stm

I believe women are free to choose to dress as they wish inshaallah. If a woman feels she is more closer to Allah by covering her face, then inshaAllah, it should be ok. Furthermore, the spirit of multiculturism in Canada will be affected negatively if the niqab is banned in schools.

Jazakallah Khair
Take care
assalam-u-alaikum

Theres no problem if some woman working at the bank sees her face to verify that its really her. So it should be alright to wear in the bank, even if women do see her face. The guys dont have to.

It is possible that there are some jobs where it is essential for everybody to be able to see the persons face. However, I believe those are dwindling. Although the reason given is the need for posititve identification of the person. But, there are more accurate means of positive identification then seeing the face. Seeing the face may be a fast and easy means of identification, but I would not call it absolute. My two daughters when they were in school looked identical. My youngest one would use her sisters name every time she got in trouble. My oldest daughter was the one who got all of the punishments. Now there was "Posisitive" identification based on people seeing my youngest daughters face. But, it was not who they thought.


We didn't find out about that until long after they had finished school and my youngest finally told what she had done.

So seeing a person's face is no guarantee of positive ID.

OOPs I was typing as you where posting. I can see that point. I veiled woman entering a bank, does not necessarily mean it is a veiled woman or even Muslim. The possibility is it could be a disguise and if the person is entering for the purpose of robbing the bank, I doubt if they would present any valid identification.

I'm going to have to think on that.

That's what i meant - when a muslim woman walks in with the niqaab, she can show her face to a woman working in the bank. :) And the guys don't have to stare.

On the contrary, if there is ever a community that should not be allowed to carry daggers in public, it is the Sikhs. History has proven that they are uncivilized barbarians who have an unquenching thirst for Muslim blood.

Unrealistic fears bring about unrealistic laws. The best way to remove unrealistic fears is to refrain from acting in any manner that supports the unrealistic fear.

Let us face facts.

Non-Muslims do not understand Muslims.

Because of the lack of understandings there are fears.

Once fears become rooted in thought, stereotypes develop to support the stereotypes.

Our best path is to show people they have no need to fear Muslims and we can do that by following Islam.

We do have to acknowledge we do have some brothers and sisters who see the fear of Muslims as a strength and they enjoy promoting that. We need to educate those who think like that. We all need to see that to instill needless fear in others is a weakness and not a strength.

Once we remove the reason for others to fear us, we will see a reduction in unrealistic laws.

This does not mean we should not be vocal about standing up for what is right, but we need to learn to use the right methods to support what is right.

I think Mr. Woodrow is right, Westerners don't know Easterners. Apparently, they don't even know the difference between Muslims and Sikhs and in France, they have banned Sikhs from wearing turban wherever burka or hijab is banned. Sometimes, they do this to be fair to all. But some times they do it out of ignorance. It's like that idiot in Arizona who killed a Sikh thinking he was Muslim.

Now is there any safety precautions behind banning veils in schools? If so, then the school authorities need to explain this and then see how this can be resolved.

That is really the best way. If we want our young people to grow up and fit fully into the secular world, then by all means send them to the secular schools. But, if choose to send them to secular schools, we have no right to grieve because they have to follow secular rules.

The only solution for having children educated with high Iman is to do our best to send them to Muslim Schools. Those of us without children need to contribute to support those schools. Yes, it will cost us money, but the alternative will cost us more.

Other religions take that route and if they can do it so can we. Look at the Jewish population. It is rare for the Jewish children to attend the Public Schools and they in turn get a better education. They are better educated then most Western children, not because the Western governments favor them, but because their family puts their priorities in the order they choose and not in the order the government chooses.

The Government will act upon polls when it suits them.

Oh, the other day I saw a teenage girl in a porcelain mask with her friends. I didn't automatically conclude she was a potential criminal because of her face covering. In fact I found it quite amusing. Those crazy punks...

Supporting a total ban is tantamount to limiting freedom of expression, by the way.

And because someone is bound to mention the cartoon stuff, my stance is, say what you want, I like free speech, but aggro is par for the course with controversy.

Thanks you for pointing that out... it is so obvious but some people choose to ignore it for some reason... not to mention ALL niqaabis I have ever seen in my area wear niqaab with their eyes showing, and it doesn't take a genius to be able to tell the difference between male and female eyes.

Here in the US several of the States have very old laws that forbid the covering of the face with masks, cloth or any material with some exceptions.

Louisiana forbids any masks or face covering except for Mardi Gras and that is limited to only certain areas. Also for Halloween, but I believe that is limited to children under the age of 12. some exceptions are made for things like costume parties, religious purposes (ie: wearing a black veil at a funeral or while in mourning) etc. I know that at least some Muslimahs in Louisiana wear the Niqaab, I believe that under state laws it is excluded from the ban.

Here in Texas I am not aware of any ban against it. But, it is possible some counties may ban it. Here in the US each state has it's own laws. Even within a state, counties will have their own laws.

I feel the same way about people who parade in their Speedos and tiny shorts in the summer time... I think it is primitive-- a backwards thing very much uncultured and uncivilized almost unsuitable to be fit for human conversation ( I feel they belong in the jungle with other animals)-- and I'd also burst out laughing if I saw someone sporting one and walking around that way..... I think they should ban it... seeing the blubber of other people offends me and makes me wanna gouge my eyes.. Also no offense !

There doesn't need to be a poll!-- to choose to ban one thing is to accept its reverse... which in and of itself means you have become a fanatic about it... which ultimately goes against the so-called principles of the freedom that the west so loves to boast about... Freedom and acceptance means that you are open to those whose views and life styles differ from yours and that their opinion would in fact be worth as much...

Your Britain should have thought of these other cultural impositions before it colonized half the world and stole their wealth ( a greedy little island) of whom no country or people were spared; from America to Scotland to Africa and China... this is the under belly if imperialism--Isolationists tend to build huts and live in forests where they can enjoy their private little bubble and form secret militia groups to over throw others of whom they feel unrest! --there is no such thing as a homogenous society...

Part of the fitrah (natural inclinations of mankind) is that men should preserve the masculinity which Allaah has created in them, and women should preserve the femininity which Allaah has created in them. Without this, decent human life becomes impossible. Men resembling women and vice versa is something which goes against man's innate nature (fitrah) and opens the door to corruption and widespread promiscuity. The ruling in sharee'ah is that when it is stated that the person who does a thing is cursed, that thing is haraam. Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Allaah has cursed the men who make themselves look like women and the women who make themselves look like men." (Reported by al-Bukhaari; see al-Fath, 10/332). Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him and his father) also reported that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Allaah has cursed effeminate men and masculine women." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, see al-Fath, 3\10/333).The resemblance may be in the way they move, walk and speak.

Similarly, the two sexes are not permitted to resemble one another in dress or by wearing anything that is specifically for the other sex. So a man is not permitted to wear necklaces, bracelets, anklets or earrings, etc., as is widespread among hippies and the like. Women are not permitted to wear things that are specifically for men, like the thawb (long garment worn by men in Arab countries), shirts, etc.; whatever she wears should be different in style, details and colour. The evidence that the two sexes should not resemble one another in dress is found in the hadeeth narrated by Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him): "Allaah has cursed the man who wears women's clothes and the woman who wear men's clothes." (Reported by Abu Dawud, 4/355; see also Saheeh al-Jaami', 5071).

None taken, but surely (religion aside) an individual is entitled to wear what he/she wants without worrying what other people might say. No one is asking YOU to wear it.

It's laughable how the greatest colonial power in the world (once) is now vulnerable to a piece of cloth.

Also, bikinis are a threat to Christian morality.

We're not vulnerable we just don't like seeing people wearing it, having to communicate with a cloth. It's just not British. This is Britain, NOT the middle east. I'm not bothered about Christianity. It's not my religion. Most people in this country are secularists...

You are contradicting yourself. In your previous post you claimed that the veil is a "threat."

This is indeed Britain, and laws go by the will of British citizens, Muslim or not. Apparently the Brits have better things to worry about than other people clothings.

Also, it doesn't matter if "most" people in Britain are secularists. There is no separation between state and church in England. You should also verify your assertions. According to the latest (2007) Tearfund survey, 53% of Brits are Christians.

My real reason is I just don't like it. It's backwards, it's not British. This is Britain, not the middle east. I don't want to see people behind cloths. I like to identify people. I like identify those who steal my pen, my wallet, my mobile phone, stick 2 fingers up at me. I like to identify those who rant their hatred, murder suspects, paedophiliacs etc, etc.

And if you don't like the way we dress then the middle eastern nations will accommodate you.

no modesty is defined by the dictionary!

1. the quality of being modest; freedom from vanity, boastfulness, etc.
2. regard for decency of behavior, speech, dress, etc.
3. simplicity; moderation.

Well my question to you now is that If I stole a pen from you and to get away with it, I used a wig to disguise myself. Would you still use the same argument? How about if I use make-up to disguise myself? Are you saying every single British citizen should be prohibited from putting on cosmetics?

Your arguments are very silly, in most cases, if a person steals something from you, you'd have no idea who they'd be, better yet even how they look like.


Nah... I've never seen a sikh with a sword. I've seen people arrested for carrying swords so I pretty much doubt it
Similarly, I can say that I've never seen people who smoke marijuana (spelling?), yet I've seen people who got arrested for smoking it.

If you don't know the laws of your own country then I suggest you do some research. It's no use being in denial.

Eh what? Let me see if I got this right.....

Sikhs ARE ALLOWED TO CARRY A SWORD!!

But they kick up marry hell {pardon the pun} because a small minority of muslim woman wear nikabs/Burks!!!

The UK law is an a$$

But if we carried a sword our feet would not touch the ground......

Anyone else would be arrested!!!

So you dont go to fancy dress parties or halloween as many people wear masks....

You also dont do scuba diving/snorkelling too... as you dont want to communicate with your diving instructor

You also would be the only person not wearing any mask during Bird Flu/Sars epidamics....

And you would never have a surgery too as you can't fully identify the surgeons....

Two kinds of Sikhs - practicing and non-practicing


If you're baptised (have taken the Nectar of the Double Edged sword) then you're a Khalsa (Pure) and that person will have uncut hair refrain from eating meat. Drinking alcohol and smoking.

You have to be in a higher state of mind. to Wear the Kirpan (Sword)

Not any tom dick or harry can wear one. and as I say, you have to fit the above criteria. So, don't think a Sikh with uncut hair can carry one. That is sacrilege

There are guidelines in the Scripture for modest dress, of which the niqab is designed to address. According to the Holy Quran, the woman should draw her veil up above and over her head, therefore covering her face.

O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad): that is most convenient, that they should be known (as such) and not molested. And Allah is Oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful. (33:59)

So it doesnt exactly have to be niqab, it can be like the famous Afghan style blue burqa with the net over the eyes.
