In 2010, the Senate of France passed an act which prohibited “concealment of the face in public space.” The act was in response to immigrant Muslim women wearing a Niqab or burqas in public spaces. Proponents argue that the ban infringes on individual rights and prevents people from expressing their religious beliefs. Opponents argue that face-coverings prevent the clear identification of a person, which is both a security risk, and a social hindrance within a society which relies on facial recognition and expression in communication.
Narrow down the conversation to these participants:
I am strongly opposed to hijabs and niqabs, but I don't believe the government has the right to ban pieces of clothing
@8KPRXJB4yrs4Y
Only during the Corona pandemic
Deleted4yrs4Y
No and end all mask mandates.

@8QG5XSM4yrs4Y
as long as it is who they say it is
@8RBQDDP3yrs3Y
Yes, depending on the event, and as long as it is not deemed a threat to anyone
@6HDD83R4yrs4Y
No, Islamic clothing (e.g. Hijabs, burqas, niqabs, Chadors, Taqiyah, and other Islamic clothing) (for men and women) should be permanently and irrevocably banned in predominantly and potentially predominantly Republican states, U.S. territories, counties and county-equivalents, Washington D.C., cities, towns, villages, Indian reservations, Census Designated Areas (CDP's) and other unincorporated areas and unincorporated communities, etc
@8RSTXFT4yrs4Y
Yes, anyone should be able to wear whatever they want, as long as it doesn't conflict with a general uniform.
@8M98FV94yrs4Y
Yes, so long as their identity can be verified quickly when necessary.
@92YHQCV2yrs2Y
Yes, we should respect all cultural traditions, but their identity must be privately verified by a female staff member, just in case.
@8C3Q2QS4yrs4Y
what kind of ceremony is it bro
@8QK7JMV4yrs4Y
Yes, but they should be managed by staff or government.
@892HFDV2yrs2Y
Yes but they should be have their identity verified by a staff member (male or female) and should be required to provide a valid gov't issued photo ID (such as a driver's license) and display it throughout the duration of the ceremony.
@8CCT6FP4yrs4Y
No, America is a secular country and no one should be allowed to wear religious clothing outside of their place of worship or private residence.
@8FPLGKD4yrs4Y
Yes, but their identity must be privately verified by an appropriate staff member in civic ceremonies or meetings of large attendance. This should be the case for all face coverings regardless of culture, sex, or religion.
@8JGSKD54yrs4Y
yes, but there should be no resistance to revealing their identity, and their identity should be revealed
@8J9LC6P4yrs4Y
No, Islam is a hateful and divisive religion. All religion should be kept out of government, and people need to keep their sexist and homophobic fairy tales in their homes.
@8JN8BGC4yrs4Y
No. Wear a head scarf. The face must be visible.
@8LY86H44yrs4Y
No because we should still be able to identify the person with the Niqab we cant.
@8NY47RM4yrs4Y
Yes, but must be removed for driver license and for confirming identification at traffic stops. Female officer if they request.
@8P9GPTN4yrs4Y
I and unsure and do not find it to be a very important issue anyway
@8PRBVSN4yrs4Y
Yes, I believe the Niqab comes from misogynistic ideas but clothing items shouldn't be controlled
@8QKJ7R94yrs4Y
Yes, we must preserve religious freedom. With the current fear of Muslim attacks, virtually no attacker would wear clothes that easily identify them as Muslim anyway.
@8S2LJ244yrs4Y
Yes, but anyone under the age of 18 should not be allowed to wear it
@8S2LJ242yrs2Y
No, ban all religious clothing in public
@8S2LJ244yrs4Y
Yes, but anyone under the age of 18 should not be allowed to wear it, and anyone wearing it must verify their identity
@8S2LJ244yrs4Y
Yes, but anyone under the age of 18 should not be allowed to wear it, and anyone wearing it must verify their identity, also, apply this to all religious clothing, not just the Niqab
@8S2LJ243yrs3Y
No, and I would prefer to ban all religious clothing in public
@8SGXQ5C4yrs4Y
Yes if a religion says women should wear face coverings in public then it is discrimination to not allow them to
@8TXPQL53yrs3Y
Yes, but their identity must be privately verified by a female staff member of the same religion so they feel comfortable.
@8VC7WDN3yrs3Y
Leave this up to the individual to decide.
@8VC7WDN3yrs3Y
Indifferent on this issue.
@8WRGD393yrs3Y
i dont support something i dont even know what it means
@8YVHZD33yrs3Y
Yes. We are all wearing mask now.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Allow the hijab but not the Niqab or Burqa.
@flavious272yrs2Y
No, this reinforces women as second class citizens
