I agree with Jack Straws reasoning..I like to see somebodys face when I talk to them..(as Graceland says because I can't hear for shit..especially if somebody has any sort of accent)..that's nothing against their culture/religion..
If I went somewhere that was a religious country etc that wanted women to wear veils..I would wear one just to respect their way of life..the same way you cover your shoulders at the Vatican..to respect the beliefs of those people..
I'm totally in support of the wearing of headscarves/turbans or the covering of arms/legs/anything else..except the face..that's whether some is wearing a veil, a balaclarva (sp?) or a cycling helmet..nothing to do with race/beliefs..just being able to see who you are talking to...
