Over hear in Miami places like banks, government buildings, and other assorted public places don't even let you wear a hat and sunglasses in doors. It has more to do with security cameras / the vision machine wanting to record whose who. Banks especially have signs that state remove hats and sunglasses before entering. I guess it is more about discouraging a potential bank robber than a issue of offending a culture. I have never heard of anyone complaining about showing a face in a bank.

Sometimes there is just a practical reason for showing a beautiful face. I am pretty sure the airport is not a good place to sport a vail, at least if you want to fly.

Right Im going to wade in here. No one gets prosecuted for wearing a motorcycle helmet.
Look, I used to think that the total secularisation of things like education was a good thing but since my kids went to an essentially Muslim school full of Somalis. well Ive changed my mind. Most of my daughters friends have veils or scarves and after a couple of times theres no mistaking one from the other. They are lively chatty kids who give you their full attention. Sarah in deference dresses a bit like them sometimes well you would, they are her mates, although most of the time she looks like something out of Night of the Living Dead.
I think on balance most dads dont mind their daughters being covered up because they simply see it as safer.
I mean what role models are the French offering. Weve got the tart Bruni following in the fashion footsteps of Michelle. Give me a break. Is this what Muslim girls should aspire to? Anyway you need dark clothes to hide the hardware. If I was a girl Id never go anywhere without a pistol.
