53 47 2 da muslims now , get ya votes in! I gotta text sayin radio 5 live were duin a poll and da muslims were losin by NINETY/90 % :eek:.. lets big up all out hijaabi sisterzzzzzzzz out there we wid ya all da wayyy!
Asking "should veils be discouraged" begs the question about circumstances. I don't think the result of the poll is a clear indication of anything, as I'll wager a clear majority would say that they should not be discouraged at private events etc but should certainly be discouraged in identification photographs or in places where security and identification of the person and reading one's facial expressions are vital.
I mean I think you'd be very hard pressed to find a single respondent who'd say that they are against allowing veils at religious ceremonies. And I also think you'd be very hard pressed to find many who'd say a veil that completely covers the face is ok on a driver's license.
i think all the LI forumners should vote too...including the guys.. pleaseee...
25:36 And the true servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk the earth with humility and when the ignorant address them, they respond with words of peace.
that's weird....maybe the poll is not so reliable after all...

I don't know when you last filled in a passport form or a driving license form but it says that in the photos, faces shouldn't be covered anyway and us veil wearers do follow that rule and have our photos taken without the veil. And when it comes to showing our faces for security reasons eg in an airport or bank etc then we ask for a female member of staff so everybody's fine with it, and I certainly don't see a problem with it. Then again I am biased, what being a veil wearer and that.......
Anyways on topic, i voted a few days ago and it was 40 something % for yes and 50 something % for no and now its 40 and 60 so I think its working.
