Could we invent a religion where all women we gaze upon have to be naked, otherwise it's insult to our prophet ?
Then we could have an amusing mexican stand off

Time for the Church of the FSM to demand its followers all wear Balaclavas for a day or the Jedi Knights to march on Parliament in Darth Vadar masks.
Unfortunately I suspect much of it is dictated by the males of the religion or for personal convenience reasons as suggested by Gibbon.

Now I am most definitely not saying that everyone wearing a veil is a thief, what I am pointing out is the lack of recognition and accountability.

I think this is the thin edge of a wider debate about covering up in public places. Personally I think the right of society to be able to recognise people outweighs the freedom to wear or not to wear what you want. You can’t walk down the streets naked so we already have limits on what is acceptable. There are security issues too and the following is a true story that I observed.
I was in the Trafford Center leaning against a pillar waiting for the wife to come out from M&S when a woman, presumably, came to the other side of the pillar in a black flowing burka with full face covering accompanied by a 8-9 year old young girl in pink western clothing. The woman stood, unaware it seems of my presence, at the other side and ’sent’ the young girl into Curry’s where there were people messing around with the tablets etc. The girl was going around behind the women and looking it seems for any open handbags whilst they were distracted.

Only the daily mail reading New Labour muppets will think its the Tories stirring it.

Nurses who want to wear a veil could work on the blind ward. Sorted.

Every time I have been into an operating theatre everyone has had their face and hair covered, including me. Apparently this is normal.

Originally posted by Archangel View PostI've been treated in both the main hospitals in bradford, and was unlucky enough to have to stay in the bradford royal infirmary for a couple of weeks. No sign of doctors or nurses wearing niqabs. Plenty of visitors wearing them though.
My wife has had two children in Airedale hospital, keighley (near bradford) and again there was no sign of any staff wearing face coverings.
If you don't see them here I would think the incidence of them occurring at all must be minuscule.
Some hospitals say the veil can be worn for religious reasons. Others - including some in West Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and east London - rule the clothing is not permitted in order to ensure effective communication
