Should women be allowed to wear a Niqāb, or face veil, to civic ceremonies?
Several Western countries including France, Spain and Canada have proposed laws which would ban Muslim women from wearing a Niqab in public spaces. A niqab is a cloth that covers the face and is worn by some Muslim women in public areas. In 2016 German interior minister Thomas de Maiziere proposed a partial ban of the burqa. de Maiziere said that the face veil does not belong in Germany society, where more than four million Muslims live, calling the proposed ban a "preventive measure".

I don’t care if women wear it or not but I think employers and stores and schools should have right to allow it or not allow it
No, non-medical face veils are a violation of human rights and should not be endorsed or tolerated in any capacity.
Yes, everyone should be able to wear whatever they like, but they must remove it for the purpose of identification, as required by authorities, before putting it on again.

I think that we should respect people’s right to religion. However, we should also act in such a way that the safety of the populace is not at risk of being threatened.
@95WV7S2Free Voters2yrs2Y
No sign of religion should be shown in civic ceremonies.
@8VL52JJ3yrs3Y
It is not of interest of the government the sex or gender of the person wearing the clothing. But the identity of the person must be verified. It is not of interest to the government the sex or gender of the person verifying the identity, but if the attendee requests a equal or like gender service to verify, it should be reasonably honored, at discretion of the Governing agency and place . The government must respect, tolerate and be inclusive of the cultural practices of the people.

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.
@8S2LJ242yrs2Y
No, ban all religious clothing in public
@flavious272yrs2Y
No, this reinforces women as second class citizens
@92YHQCV2yrs2Y
Yes, we should respect all cultural traditions, but their identity must be privately verified by a female staff member, just in case.
@8YVHZD32yrs2Y
Yes. We are all wearing mask now.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but their face must be visible and must go through security checks.

No, and I would prefer to ban all religious clothing in public

Yes, it is someone’s right to rebel or choose whether or not they abide by tradition
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but their face must go through security checks.

Deleted2yrs2Y
Not the Niqab but allow the Hijab.
@8VC7WDN3yrs3Y
Leave this up to the individual to decide.
@8VC7WDN3yrs3Y
Indifferent on this issue.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Allow the hijab but not the Niqab or Burqa.
@8TXPQL53yrs3Y
Yes, but their identity must be privately verified by a female staff member of the same religion so they feel comfortable.
@8RBQDDP3yrs3Y
Yes, depending on the event, and as long as it is not deemed a threat to anyone
@8SGXQ5C3yrs3Y
Yes if a religion says women should wear face coverings in public then it is discrimination to not allow them to
@8S2LJ243yrs3Y
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
Yes, but anyone under the age of 18 should not be allowed to wear it, and anyone wearing it must verify their identity
@8S2LJ243yrs3Y
Yes, but anyone under the age of 18 should not be allowed to wear it
@8RSTXFT3yrs3Y
Yes, anyone should be able to wear whatever they want, as long as it doesn't conflict with a general uniform.
@8QKJ7R93yrs3Y
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.
@8QK7JMV3yrs3Y
Yes, but they should be managed by staff or government.
@8QG5XSM3yrs3Y
as long as it is who they say it is
@8PRBVSN3yrs3Y
Yes, I believe the Niqab comes from misogynistic ideas but clothing items shouldn't be controlled
@8P9GPTN3yrs3Y
I and unsure and do not find it to be a very important issue anyway
@8NY47RM3yrs3Y
Yes, but must be removed for driver license and for confirming identification at traffic stops. Female officer if they request.
