It is seen as an inposition of repression upon the women who are pressurised into wearing it by their families. Not revealing your face is a very anti-social thing to do. If you do this due to not wanting to yourself then it must be asked why the hell not? What are you hiding??? If it is due to family pressure then that is not OK in a modern society. Women need to be as empowered as men in the west not restricted by not being able to make any sort of relationship due to not being able to show their face. |

Greetings abuayisha, So the answer is no, you can't see how people being able to hide their identities can be a threat? As I asked... Would islamic nations welcome outsiders coming in whose faces they could not see? asalaam and blessings, Caringheart Edited by Caringheart - 22 December 2015 at 4:10pm |

The answer is that France has motivations other than public safety. If you're asking me should people be allowed to do their banking in ski masks, than my answer is no.

So what is the difference between that and all other social/business interactions in society? |

hehehe - That made me smile. but seriously, how can you be the judge of what France's motivations are? The government is dealing with a serious problem. They are responsible for protecting the people, and for maintaining the stability of the nation. Just as you wouldn't trust a person walking into a bank wearing a ski mask, why would you feel any safer knowing that there were people determined to terrorize or bomb, allowed to walk around on the streets with their face covered? ... and I don't mean just muslims... anyone could don the burqa as a cover, if they wanted to do ill, and especially if they wanted that ill to be blamed on muslims. asalaam and blessings, Caringheart |

France adheres to a strict form of secularism, known as la�cit�, which is designed to keep religion out of public life. This principle was entrenched by law in 1905, after fierce anti-clerical struggles with the Roman Catholic church. http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2014/07/economist-explains-2 |

Well, your words seem to point to criticismphobia, because all I do is criticize a literal understanding of certain parts of holy books. I'm puzzled by this overreaction. I do respect people and because of that I might challenge some of what they say or write. I focus on the issue, not the person. When people say snakes can really talk or the moon was really split or Moses really parted the sea I voice my disagreement (the latter myth might have been inspired by the oral traditions created after the tsunami caused by the Minoan eruption) and this has nothing to do with trolling. Literalim can cause a lot of problems. It'd be irresponsible not to criticize it. |

I expressed my disagreement with particular literal interpretations. Why is this disrespectful behavior targeting Islam? I know numerous modern Muslims, who look at the symbolic meaning of the splitting the Moon. There are different ways to interpret religions, aren't there? |
