Several Western countries including France, Spain and Canada have proposed laws which would ban Muslim women from wearing a Niqab in public spaces. A niqab is a cloth that covers the face and is worn by some Muslim women in public areas. In 2015 Lombardy approved a ban on wearing the Islamic veil and burqa in hospitals and local government offices in the wake of recent terrorist attacks in Europe. Proponents argue that the ban infringes on individual rights and prevents people from expressing their religious beliefs. Opponents argue that face-coverings prevent the clear identification of a person, which is both a security risk, and a social hindrance within a society which relies on facial recognition and expression in communication.

Yes, but she shouldn't forcing other locals or tourists to wear a Niqāb or face veil
@93J2QGJ2yrs2Y
I would say yes but just being sure that they can be recognised in every moment.
@8RFZXYS3yrs3Y
They can wear whatever they want but the entire face must be visible
@8RB2YYY3yrs3Y
No, civic ceremonies should not allow religious symbols, including crosses

Yes but they should be have their identity verified by a staff member (male or female) and should be required to provide a valid gov't issued photo ID (such as a driver's license) and display it throughout the duration of the ceremony.
@8S2LJ242yrs2Y
No, ban all religious clothing in public
@flavious272yrs2Y
No, this reinforces women as second class citizens
@92YHQCV2yrs2Y
Yes, we should respect all cultural traditions, but their identity must be privately verified by a female staff member, just in case.
@8YVHZD32yrs2Y
Yes. We are all wearing mask now.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but their face must be visible and must go through security checks.

Yes, but their face must be visible and go through security checks.
@8S2LJ242yrs2Y
No, and I would prefer to ban all religious clothing in public
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, it is someone’s right to rebel or choose whether or not they abide by tradition
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but their face must go through security checks.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but their face must pass through security checks.

@8WRGD393yrs3Y
i dont support something i dont even know what it means
Deleted3yrs3Y
Not the Niqab but allow the Hijab.
@8VC7WDN3yrs3Y
Leave this up to the individual to decide.
@8VC7WDN3yrs3Y
Indifferent on this issue.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Allow the hijab but not the Niqab or Burqa.
@8TXPQL53yrs3Y
Yes, but their identity must be privately verified by a female staff member of the same religion so they feel comfortable.
@8RBQDDP3yrs3Y
Yes, depending on the event, and as long as it is not deemed a threat to anyone
@8SGXQ5C3yrs3Y
Yes if a religion says women should wear face coverings in public then it is discrimination to not allow them to
@8S2LJ243yrs3Y
Yes, but anyone under the age of 18 should not be allowed to wear it, and anyone wearing it must verify their identity, also, apply this to all religious clothing, not just the Niqab
@8S2LJ243yrs3Y
Yes, but anyone under the age of 18 should not be allowed to wear it, and anyone wearing it must verify their identity
@8S2LJ243yrs3Y
Yes, but anyone under the age of 18 should not be allowed to wear it
@8RSTXFT3yrs3Y
Yes, anyone should be able to wear whatever they want, as long as it doesn't conflict with a general uniform.
@8QKJ7R93yrs3Y
Yes, we must preserve religious freedom. With the current fear of Muslim attacks, virtually no attacker would wear clothes that easily identify them as Muslim anyway.
@8QK7JMV3yrs3Y
Yes, but they should be managed by staff or government.
@8QG5XSM3yrs3Y
as long as it is who they say it is
@8PRBVSN3yrs3Y
Yes, I believe the Niqab comes from misogynistic ideas but clothing items shouldn't be controlled
@8P9GPTN3yrs3Y
I and unsure and do not find it to be a very important issue anyway
@8NY47RM3yrs3Y
Yes, but must be removed for driver license and for confirming identification at traffic stops. Female officer if they request.
@6HDD83R3yrs3Y
No, Islamic clothing (e.g. Hijabs, burqas, niqabs, Chadors, Taqiyah, and other Islamic clothing) (for men and women) should be permanently and irrevocably banned in predominantly and potentially predominantly Republican states, U.S. territories, counties and county-equivalents, Washington D.C., cities, towns, villages, Indian reservations, Census Designated Areas (CDP's) and other unincorporated areas and unincorporated communities, etc
@8M98FV93yrs3Y
Yes, so long as their identity can be verified quickly when necessary.
@8LY86H43yrs3Y
No because we should still be able to identify the person with the Niqab we cant.
@8KPRXJB4yrs4Y
Only during the Corona pandemic
@8JGSKD54yrs4Y
yes, but there should be no resistance to revealing their identity, and their identity should be revealed
