I think it should work both ways, and I know it doesn't, but I think we would also like to pride ourselves on being more civilised than some of our immigrants native countries.
I think for example that it is wrong that we cant wear our own clothes in places like saudi arabia and, particularly from a female perspective, have to be accompanied by a man everywhere. I cant make an impact on a foreign country though, my opinion doesnt count. Fortunatly we live in a democratic state that at least claims to allow us freedom of expression and I think that if we want to be true to human rights then they should all count for everyone, and personally I think forcing them to not wear the veil would breach Article 9 of the human rights act, and thats not fair unless there is no way to provide a secure society without doing that, and I think there could be ways of doing so without such radical measures. Just a matter of opinion and I'm sure I'm not the only person in the country against it otherwise it would have happened already.
