If you want to ban the hijab, the niqab and other forms of Islamic religious clothing then maybe you should look at the Christian cross and other forms of Eastern religious clothing. Whoever seeks a ban on the veil is only seeking a ban on human rights itself. A ban that needs to end today!

Niqab/Burka does not hurt or restrict anyone. If I want to wear a string bikini in a public park so that I can worship the sun that is perfectly ok but, if I wish to show less skin for your perusal to worship Allah/God my actions sre to be illegal?

There are more pressing things in the world that those with authority need to focus on

It is contradictory to human rights laws.
It is illogical and based on a lack of understanding, and a lack of willingness to understand, the motives and context for dressing the different ways one may choose to, which may not conform to the majority form of dress. A discussion is important; a ban is extreme. There is no real evidence to suggest that a ban will help either national security nor female empowerment as it purports to do.

People should have the right to choose the way they dress, and if a woman chooses to be modest and cover her beauty from the unwanted view of others, why is that a threat? The answer is there is no threat. This is just a way to oppress Muslim women. They say we are oppressed, but they know it is not true. I wear my niqab proudly as my choice to serve God.
