LMAO even at this thread. No IMO, the veil shouldn't be banned. If they want to wear a veil let them, it's part of the religion isn't it (I am prepared to be corrected here).
If the women feel persecuted by the veil, then that's a different issue, but unfortunately one for the religion to handle.
If the veil was to be 'banned' it would IMO have to be part of a wider change in law regarding coverage of the face, and not be be targetting one group in particular, that simply isn't fair.
(I haven't even bothered reading the news articles on it, so don't know 'why' they are thinking about banning them btw, or if it's just media hype surrounding another issue.)
EDIT: My personal opinion on the whole 'having' to cover up is that I think it's shocking that men can wonder around freely doing as they please, but women are expected to cover themselves up to stop men finding them attractive :crazy:. Mind you, not that long ago (and some still do) that hat's were almost mandatory in churches....
