I don't think it should be banned, women should be allowed to wear it if they want as long as it is their choice and not forced upon them. On my Muslim half of my family, most of the woman (around 60-70%) don't even wear hijab and only one of them wears the full niqab, the rest wear the regular hijab.

What's supposed to be the penalty for wearing the niqab? Considering the current state of affairs in Egypt, I wouldn't be suprised that women who don't adhere to the ban receive the death penalty. Tongue

What punishment, would you say, is appropriate for a woman who decides to wear the niqab in public?

I like how they're spinning it - "well actually, you know the Jews had veils first". Lmao.

An Arab leader using "da evil Joos" as a rallying cry to get his people to do something?  Say it ain't so!

This is a terrible idea on so many levels. It's like Sisi is trying to instigate an Islamist uprising that will overthrow him and lead to a regime 1000 times worse than Morsi's.

Treated as running around nude or something. The husband should also be punished, proabably with a fine the first time then a gradual escalation of warnings until jail time.

I don't actually support a ban but I think being made to take it off would be an appropriate punishment.

What punishment is appropriate for the husband of a (perhaps comparatively rare, but existent) woman who decides on her own initiative and over his disapproval to wear the niqab in public?

I don't actually support a ban but I think being made to take it off would be an appropriate punishment.

What punishment is appropriate for a woman who keeps putting it on again?

Yes, sexists are going to be angry if oppressive sexist clothing is banned. Why are you making excuses for them? Just because it will piss some awful people off doesnt mean its not the right thing to do.

What do you think the appropriate legal penalty is for women who wear oppressive sexist clothing?

Egyptian law ban marriages between Muslim women and non-Muslim men, and you people think that this is the great attack on their human rights?

Again, that assumes no Egyptian woman does this voluntarily. I don't think that's a remotely safe assumption. Of course anybody forcing his wife or daughter to dress a specific way against her will should be punished for that.
