The niqab has
nothing to do with religion...it is all about male domination of women.
Nowhere in the Qu'ran does it tell women that they must cover their faces.
It is a throwback to Persian aristocracy...it is a tribal custom, but many muslim men have been brainwashed to equate it with the muslim religion....and pass this belief on to their women and children. The women do it out of deference to their husbands and fathers - but it is the men who require it to be done...not the religion.
You can see far more muslim women in Blackburn wearing this garment than ever you will see in a Turkish city.
It is intimidatory, anti-social and when it comes to the courts of law and schools it should be banned.
