So does Congress.Banks are not congress
Your bank has valid security reasons for it
Congress doesnt
Fare.It’ll be interesting to see how the burqa and niqab fair in the future of face recognition.

We could learn from them. Just saying this isn't something that should affect anybody's ability to move about and work.True. But have ours?
The label of impeached, convicted traitor would be enough.Depends. Can we label Trump a Muslim? Would sure solve some big problems. After he's gone we could say "we made a mistake'.
Burkas are a symbol of women without rights and chucking gays off of buildings and other Islamic stuff. Yeah ban anything Islam, I'm fine with that.
It's just not that big of a deal. People on both sides can and do make one out of it. Ignorance is a bitch.

How do you do, fellow kids?hey everyone
the guy who supports the "exclude gay people from hate crimes and lynchings laws" party wants us all to believe he is very against the mistreatment of gay people
we all believe him, right?
i'm very certain that the guy who voted for a serial rapist is very worried about women's rightsHow do you do, fellow kids?

It would be interesting to know his views on whether the poor 13 year old in Wisconsin who was kidnapped by his fellow INCEL for three months should be allowed to have an abortion if she is pregnant. Maybe he thinks she should be forced to create a child with him. After all, she probably asked for it.i'm very certain that the guy who voted for a serial rapist is very worried about women's rights
Ok, so asked myself, why does it bother me not to be able to see someone’s face? And the only answer I have is because I like to have a heads up on who I’m dealing with. And here’s a couple of examples why. I work in a high end jewellery retailer and often work late nights. I can honestly say the image of a burqa clad woman entering the store does not frighten me one bit! Not in the slightest. What does bother me is what if that’s NOT woman at all under that veil and it’s a man about to rob me? Because u see if a man walked in wearing a balaclava then at least I’d know I’m about to be robbed, when he walks in in a burqa I’m none the wiser and caught off guard. Another scenario. Out walking my dog in the evening when it’s cooler, there’s no one else around and a “woman” in full veil is walking towards me. AGAIN, not a second thought given so my guard is down and I certainly don’t want to offend so I don’t look anymore than I need to. Lo and behold it’s a predator under that veil who sees I’m clearly relaxed and once again none the wiser.We could learn from them. Just saying this isn't something that should affect anybody's ability to move about and work.
Just poking about the web, there is no restriction against a woman removing her veil to verify identity. A bank admitted it went too far when it required people entering the bank to remove head coverings and a woman objected. They revised their policy to only require face coverings be removed. It's just not that big of a deal. People on both sides can and do make one out of it. Ignorance is a bitch.

As a female, not knowing who is under the veil is frightening. The qur’an says nothing about full face coverings, only to lower their gaze and guard their modesty. And that they should cast their outer garments over their persons: that is most convenient. My interpretation of “most convenient” is NOT over my face. That would be the least convenient wouldn’t it? So this is not a show of faith to their religion. It’s culture based.
These are only MY REASONS for not supporting full face coverings in public. And don’t even think of trying to call me racist as I have Muslim aunties, none of which wear burqas or niqabs, but do wear head coverings.

Seems burqa IS the new balaclava.

Maybe the root of your problem with the burka lies with what men do and nothing to do with the burka. Just saying, we are safer in a society where people are respectful of each other.
I think you're explaining your own issues with the veil and wouldn't expect women to remove the veil because of these feelz. amirite?That’s exactly right. And that’s the msg I was trying to convey. As a woman I have enough worries and fears about strangers (men). I don’t need the added fear of having to worry who exactly is under the veil too. That’s all.
Ps. I’m in Australia.
