To Veil or Not to Veil, that is the question.

i know Reborn- i thought for sure i saw some definite 'man leg' in that photo. let's not tell valis though that he possibly has a couple dudes in his harem. *cue Crying Game theme*

The Koran does not forbid picture taking, nor does it require women to wear a veil. It is a perversion of the text by cultural bias of early quranic "scholars" that resulted in re-establishing the use of the shadar.

Are you playing Devil's Advocate?
Yeah, pretty much.
Or are you just resorting to semantics to try and make a opposig viewpoint?
A little bit of that too.
What you said is sheer and utter nonsense Funky.
How can it be? It was a question. I wasn't saying that religious rights are absolute, just challenging the claim that it was a "no-brainer" that this woman should be forced to violate her deeply-held religious beliefs in order to comply with traffic laws when acceptable alternatives might be available.
Personally I think religious beliefs deserve no more respect than any other kind of irrational belief. But arguing over the "correct" interpretation of the Koran is pointless. It remains a fact that many Muslim women believe they must keep their faces covered in public, just as many Jews will do no work on a Saturday, Sikh men wear turbans (often instead of normal uniform hats, or even crash helmets) and, most worryingly, carry a ceremonial sword. To what extent, if any, should the government of a country make allowances for the peculiar beliefs of its citizens?
