I don’t think that’s fair. It is a matter of religious conscience for some people. But I think it’s fair to say, (a) no one should be forced to wear it (b) people should be free to wear it (c) people of good conscience should be able to argue that it’s generally a bad thing.

I don’t think it is, but just in case anyone is confused, I’ll restate my point - I don’t think it’s okay to ban anyone’s religious expression (unless it hurts someone else), and generally people should be free to worship how they wish or not at all.
I agree w you. I think your ‘unless it hurts someone else’ caveat is key when it comes to niqab. I wore it myself and I can tell you, it hurts the wearer first and foremost. Other than that, it’s as much a societal safety concern as a balaclava or anything else hiding identity.

I believe in one law for all. I don’t think there should be religious exclusions. If no one can walk into a bank or a school or an airport etc with their face covered...then no one can. No exceptions.
