The veil was introduced because of the damage done to the face and eyes due to the ferocious sand storms and as with all simple people they had to introduce it into a religion to get the people to wear it, same as pork is forbidden in the same religion, the people were so hungry they would eat pork that was off and it killed a lot of them.
Obviously this custom is not followed by the great majority of Muslim women and therefore should not be tolerated in Airports and other public buildings that is why they must show their faces in special rooms.
Once they introduce the walk through x-ray machines in airports which will be compulsory, no one will be able to hide anything then it will be if you don't show you don't go. |

Islam is not a country or a race, it is a religion. You can be white, have family who have lived in Scotland for 4000 years and be Muslim. Does your conversion to Islam mean you are no longer Scottish/British?
Also, airports do not belong to countries - they are situated in international territory.
Now we've cleared that misunderstanding up - YES, I agree with you, everyone should be made to identify themselves at airports. If you don't want to offend people then have Muslim women on the desk to identify the Muslim women who wear niqab, in a special private room. The rules should apply to EVERYONE - this is what equality is, not 'positive discrimination' - discrimination is discrimination. |

The British Passport photograph of anyone has to be full face with no obstruction like a headscarf or long hair. There is no reason why Muslim women should not bare their faces to any responsible official at an airport. Failure to identify a passenger adequately could be very dangerous, whatever their looks, Religion or colour. |

It's a tricky one. We have to respect religious rights but as you said some people abuse this. We live in an unstable world where some people will do anything to fool people. Fingerprinting may help but then do we all want to be fingerprinted to be allowed to travel? It may come to that in order to protect our country. |

OUR airports? There were UK Muslims last time I looked. Airports are not religion based buildings. As for the veil issue, no they shouldn't be forced to take it off at the front desk because their religious beliefs should be respected. If security is an issue ask women to remove their veils in a room with only a women present or even behind a screen. Therefore respecting their religion and been secure about identity |

Who said they are allowed?.That incident was widely reported and since then all staff at airports have been instructed not to let it happen again .Have you been brooding on this for months or just trying to stir up some racial comments? |

Absolutely. The religious part of the veil is that they don't want a man to see how ugly they are and be tempted. So, the veiled woman could lift her veil for another woman to inspect to identify her with the picture on her passport. I assume here that THEY do have pictures on their passports.
Freedom of Religion is one of the bedrock rights which the Anglos have incorporated into their governments in England and the United States. However, these people (the Muslims) at first opportunity would change that and outlaw all religions except Islam. In view of that, I think that the US and Britan should OUTLAW the practice of Islam.
In parts of the US, it is illegal to wear a mask, this going back to a time when KKK members wore masks. A Burqua with veil is nothing more than a mask. |

Can you believe that you can also get british muslims? Just wandered by the way you ask the question about 'our' airports.
I think that there should be some way of identifying the person under the veil so that it does not compromise their beliefs but so that sercurity is not breached. |

Yes i do agree. Nothing really surprises me about this country anymore. Of course if a white person was doing this it would be a different story. Then they wonder why people like David Copeland and Timothy McVeigh do the things they do. |

OUR airport?
Are there "non muslim" and muslim airports? |

I agree with your sentiment but I'm not sure the expression "OUR airports" is the best way to put things. It's not a case of us and them,which your comment implies.
Treat everyone the same, security affects us all, Muslim, Christian or agnostic we are all vulnerable to terrorist attack and all need protecting from fleeing criminals.
Treat everyone the same, we should ALL have to show our faces for immigration purposes. That's no racism, its about ALL law abiding citizens accepting that we have to give up a little of our personal freedom to protect society as a whole. |

Well this is a stupid answer. Why do young females walk through airports in Muslim countries in sleeveless t-shirts, and mini shorts and then complain when the local men get the idea they're fair game (up for it)? If Europeans and other so-called westerners like people from the USA and the Antipodes stopped behaving as though their customs were the world-wide benchmark, then we might not have a problem with women wearing veils, or paranoia about people from other religions. |
