If they can ban the bikini, why can't we ban the veil? Especially when there is actually a somewhat credible argument that they pose a potential security threat?

It's just another small example of how multi-culturalism is problematic and failing.

The veil is not appropriate in any modern society. It reminds me of the Handmaids Tale.

I dont see a problem with banning solid veils, my problem is more that the populartiy for this is based in anti muslim rheortic and prejudice concocted with rationalised hypothesis. We should also be banning masks, balaclava, ski masks etc.

I see no reason to ban it specifically, but I do agree it should not be exempt from places where faces must be uncovered for security purposes (banks, border controls, etc). In other words, it should have no special status either for or against, it's just another face covering. Personally I'd like to see all face covering banned (ski masks, balaclavas, etc) in all but exceptional circumstances - it tends to be used only to intimidate or avoid identification.

I'd still ban it though given its connotations to inequality and patriarch domination. Plus, it looks fvcking stupid and anti-social.

I believe the Quran only asks for persons to dress modestly; therefore it is solely a cultural more. But as Jamie suggests if there were to be a blanket ban should other face covers? Should motorcycle helmets be banned and therefore motorbikes?

Indeed, but I don't see a lot of right wingers supporting wider women's rights from access to abortion, rape conviction rates and services in the UK, the disparity in pay despite the equal act 40 odd years ago.
