i believe the two pictures on the right are too extreme. i mean islam teaches us to be decent but thats just over the top. the two on the left are absolutely fine though.
 
No. The UK is a nation of acceptance and tolerance, which includes religious acceptance and tolerance. Though many do not agree with what the veil may represent, it is a part of Islamic culture.

Banning the veil would be the wrong approach and may make muslims feel more sidelined in their local communities.
 
The ones on th left our OAP's have wore for years, they're ok. But the other two are ridiculous. Not being racist, but If they were to commit a crime, how could you find them? And the hoodie's like the google ones should be banned. No face covering :)
 
I would like to see a change in certainn ones. The full black outfit with only a section open for the eyes is not right.

I was driving along one night side street poor lightning and a women stepped out in front of me and I only just managed to break in time, but of course it was my fault.

I have problem with any religion as long as it is not forced on others, but any westerns going to strongly Muslim/Middle East countries need to abide by the laws of the land so the same should be here, but as usual we are the soft touch.

If I were to argue in favour of the ban, I would go about it by saying that I believe it would not be a ban on women wearing the veil as such, it would be a ban on the male dominating the female, dictating what she is to wear and repressing her femininity. A ban on that is something I would gladly argue for.

but it wouldn't really....if one man says the woman must wear this and we say you cannot wear this....how are we doing women any favours ?
