why is protecting someones cultural right higher up in some peoples priority than protecting everyone else's safety?
the OP said:Following Moses99 thread about the ban in France - could admins add a poll? thx
Sould the UK ban the islamic veil as the French did?
1. yes, ban the veil in the UK
2. don't like the veil, but a ban is not the right approach
3. no
EDIT: to clarify the ban is not about security. It is about women's place in modern society

Whose safety is at risk?
Do not judge me on a single post and wish me bad luck for a job just because i said one thing?
in a school environment, the children?
on a bus, the driver if he becomes threatened by those with the veil wearer for asking them to reveal their face to match a bus pass, for instance.

Definitely ban the veil. Main reason i see for a ban is one of terrorism. For all we know, there could be a guy hidden under it with a shotgun etc!

Also - and I almost hate myself for getting into this - but it'd be far easier to hide a shotgun in a big, bulky jacket than under a ... veil.
Did read it. I still think the main reason for a ban should be security issues.

I know that is what was posted! Just saying it should be banned for security reasons! Could be any tom dick or harry under the veil, i.e a wanted criminal etc etc.

e : you didn't even read the OP or the rest of the thread, did you?
Should be a suspendable offence.
Well, i am all for banning the veil. Lets follow France and do the right thing.
What if i make up a new religion which states i have to wear a balaclava as part of that religion? How would people react to that!
why should it be?
Is it because you dont like it?
