*DEBATE* Should Muslim women be allowed to wear veils that show just their eyes?

[QUOTE=FlyingJesus;2347178] if I were to dress as a Muslim woman with the full veil I would most likely pass for one, as could any criminal.QUOTE]

As long as you had feminine eyes... lol anyways, yea who knows what theyre hiding under that big cloak thingy...

It's not that they do cause problems, it's that they could. As I mentioned before, if I were to dress as a Muslim woman with the full veil I would most likely pass for one, as could any criminal. It is not simply an issue of freedom of clothing, but one of national security.

But anything could cause problems, but its okay, because they dont. With the right makeup, I could pass as someone from virtually any race. But petty criminals dont go through all the unnesesary trouble of buying that specific of clothing when they simply need a mask. Not to mention, the full muslim woman outfit would make the worst possible getaway clothing. I just dont see people dressing up as muslim women to comit crimes.

Maybe not to commit crimes... but if someones onto you for say, being an illegal immigrant... its a good way to hide and avoid being asked to remove it..

and yet they forget the whole thing a few months ago hoodys have been banned... and baseball caps arent allowed in schools anymore either...

people with hoodies are not allowed in certain shopping centres and other public places.

But hoodies and caps do not associate with a religion, unlike a veil. It's two different things.

tehy come to this country adn expect us to cahnge for them, and compalin about the western way of life. GO HOME! if thats how you feel. I know that many are good people and fit in perfectly but its the extremest that should be kicked out.

and listening to that woman wearing the veil on GMTV the other day, she was agressive but the woman who was arguing against it was well vlever and educated about their religeon inall aspect so caught her out in cases.

anyway.. its a risk to the public they are hiding there face therefore cctv cant pick them up. its the same as youths wearing hoddies in shops(thats been banned in places) its for the safety of the general public, religeon or not. osama bin laden etc declare holy war against us. its "religion" but its not tolerated is it.

its also rude for talking to other people!

its not part of their religion or culture it doesnt even say to wear head scalfs or veils it just says to extend their garments not look like terrorist suspects.

its respectful for them, they are not allowed to reveal any part of there body apart from there eyes.

Well its not actually part of islam to cover your face/ where that veil my mum gets angry when she sees women like that but a headscarf Is
only nessercary while praying to seperate them from god.

I know this since I am a muslim.

[^.^]

The qu'raan (whatever it is) only says to "extend their garments to be distinguished not poenilized" their sure being distinguished now.... it does not say cover up completely so no-one can see what you look like, hear what your saying or look like a complete anonymous. their just hiding behind their religion because they think noone is bothered to translate it.

The women at my church where scarves on their heads only when praying because yea, it shows respect to God, but not out in everyday life...

our christmas play in my last school was cancelled by the muslim community because it didnt mention their prophets or their god why should we deal with their head veils.
