It's merely a display of seperation. <br /><br />When it comes to the niquab, what about are rights in a civilised society to see the faces of our fellow citizens? There's also a safety issue; how can we be sure that there is not a pedophile wearing a full length niquab fiddling with himself near playgrounds.<br />Steve Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13670990166576346966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-53585487962399582492019-06-10T23:18:39.314+01:002019-06-10T23:18:39.314+01:00there is no one way of doing it but a man of your ...there is no one way of doing it but a man of your ability should find it easy enough - easy for me to say given that I have reviewed hundreds of themAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559413440743290550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-52837664695283288992019-06-10T23:11:41.057+01:002019-06-10T23:11:41.057+01:00Anthony

I personally have no problems with public servants being allowed to wear the turban, hijab or cross etc so long as it they treat everybody impartially.

I know the French were behaving badly when they banned the burkinki but I think there is a case for it not being societally permissible for citizens to mask up in public. They cant go naked in public (in dress code terms something that has total transparency !) and it is a rule that applies to all.
