Hi David, the bottom line is: the niqab is a safety issue. In public areas where no citizens are allowed to cover their faces, there should be no exceptions. Period. As an aside, this religious freedom aspect is based on a lie anyway (not that it should make a difference /1
as it should be one law for all). Islam prohibits the niqab in prayer and Hajj (2 of the 5 pillars of the religion). Yes, Muslims wear it, but it’s not religiously mandated. Just as a Christian might wear a KKK hood-that doesn’t mean it’s his religion that compels him. /2

Much like the KKK hood, it is an ideologically motivated dress code. But, regardless, bottom line, as I said: it’s about safety of citizens. FGM is also claimed to be religious. However religious rights do not supersede human rights.
-
More than safety: in a free society, there is an implied social contract of trust amongst citizens. Showing the face is a sign of equality and common respect for fellow citizens.Hiding the face creates social discomfort and division, lack of social harmony.
