A simple thread made me realize something- I'm probably one of the only people I know who doesn't have anything against full body veils(or covering yourself in general). Is there a reason for the huge dislike for women that wear the hijab, niqab, burka, etc.?
My general thoughts(if you care so much) are:
1. I wouldn't cover my face due to me personally never wanting to do so. However, i won't stop someone from doing it if they want.
2. Anyone who wants to wear the burka/niqab should remove the face veil(or anything else necessary) if needed for important reasons. Examples are for security or medical reasons. Of course, if the woman wearing the veil asks for a female officer/doctor and there's one available, then she should get a female doctor(similar to how you can always ask for a doctor of a different gender if you're uncomfortable).
3. The only reason why anyone should cover is because they want to. If it's because a family member forces them, that's wrong.
4. The bare minimum should cover most of one's chest to their knees(or hover around there). If one wants, they can be more modest. Fine by me.
5. Women who wear the niqab affect no one but themselves. People who choose to throw fits over it and claim that sharia law is taking over doesn't understand that <5% out of the ~80% of muslim women wear niqabs, Why should we overreact if most muslim women stick with the hijab only?
Note: Please be respectful and avoid biases or generalizations. I don't want a war to arrive from a simple thread. Thanks.
