France is talking about banning the veil ffs. However much I despise that article of dress, it is as wrong to say they shouldn't be able to wear it, as it would be to say Hassidic Jews should be legally prevented from wearing gloves or that Sikhs should have to cut their hair.
The issue is one of safety and known terrorists being able to conceal their faces behind the veil. Gloves? Cutting their hair? You are totally missing the point. C'mon.
