*sorry, this is a bit flippant. I know it is quite a serious subject. I'm not sure how I stand on it TBH. Hate the oppresive idea of the veil, hate the oppresive idea of banning an item of clothing


Yes, get ye on both fronts.
At heart, I know I can't ever communicate with anyone whose smile/lack of I can't see, and at worst something tells me that's part of 'the point'.
It's 'socially' impossible, right?
We all set our stall out by our expression wherever we go.

Is it like banning hoodies in shopping malls, only on a bigger scale? Again, not a serious comparison, but when it occurred to me it did make me think. If you take the religious aspect out of it, it is quite a similar thing!
