I can see where Jack Straw is coming from. Some non-muslims feel intimidated when in the presence of veiled muslim women. It's down to not being able to see the reaction in their faces. It can be a little unnerving.

Look how easy it is to be misunderstood on a message board when you can't see or hear the person speak. A post can be read in an entirely different way to that which was intended because there is no emotional input to go with it. (apart from the good old smilies but even then sometimes they can be misinterpreted.)

Judging how another person has reacted to what we've said is part of having conversation. Apparently some women have removed their veils whilst talking to him according to the news last night.
