The French parliamentary committee has now confirmed its recommendations to place a ban on people wearing face veils in public places. Locations included in the “public places” will be buildings such as hospitals, government offices and public transport.
When I first heard about this proposed law, I was initially shocked; how could a government propose to limit someone’s religious expression? And then I thought about it, and I do understand the fear that a covered face can inspire. Banks do not allow people to wear motorcycle helmets inside, as it has been used in the past to hide the identity of robbers. And from this I can see the logic in banning garments that hide someones face.
This is not to say that people who mask their faces are out to cause others harm, far from it, but if one rule applies to one group of people, it should apply to everyone, irrespective of religion.
