They aren't actually banning the veil, it's just this Bishop that want's it banned. And there is no good reason to ban the Hijab or shalwar kameez, other than intolerance. In a multicultural society like Britain, everybody has the right to follow whatever culture they want to, as long as it is not impossible practically or is not illegal.

He said ban it in public places and wear it only in private. Nothing to do with only places that need ID.

Anyway, at the airport they can check you out once at the appropriate time, what's the point of banning it in the whole airport!?

Don't there people ever get bored of making the same request over and over again, I mean, we heard you the first time it made headlines. :rollseyes

Wa Aleykum Salam Sister,

Quoting from Here, http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30100-13559288,00.html

"But there are occasions in public life when it is inappropriate for them to wear it."
