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.
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.

Any particular reason? Or just because of the propaganda?
I just don't like it. It's a backwards thing. I don't like people wearing their hoodies up either. They cause too many problems. If someone started speaking to me with their face covered I'd burst out laughing, no offence.

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 !

^^It makes more sense to laugh at that then someone who is actually covered and not showing off something u dont wana see...! I wouldnt want to see a fat belly or hairy chest as I'm trying to get somewhere with decency. Backwards indeed.

You have given your opinion and I have given mine Although yours was a little exaggerated. Anyhow there's no poll referring to that. It's about the veil so yours isn't worth too much...
Its not exaggerated mate...and yes its worth every penny
It is Go on pinch me You won't find a bit of fat Your opinion is worth every penny lol? Where's the poll asking whether shorts, t-shirt, bikinis should be banned?
But anyway you have given your opinion and I have given mine and voted honestly. No hard feelings. :X
Nope, non here We rnt jus talking about you. If i had a dollar for everytime I saw stuff like that, id be so dang rich rite now. What you said could be said the same way by us about some of the nasty things we see. I say, they need to wear the Burka more than i would. Sickening...

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...

No no you have got me wrong. Everyone here will vouch for me on this. I'm against any non-British culture that is forced upon us. I'm not a left-wing, conservative, liberal. I'm a nationalist.

oh my... that makes it all better lol
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... Deal with it!
peace--

I don't believe in inhereditary guilt The world benefited from the British empire but still that was before my time...
Well then these are the sins of your forefathers! I won't get into the so-called benefits the world enjoyed from your British empire given the scarcity!
peace!
