I feel we don't let the KKK run around with their head coverings why should you be allowed to. both such axe promotes a certain kind of violence. you promote your type of religion which is disgusting and repulsive and just a reason to abused life. so wearing stuff like that means you're supporting your religion which has issues or you actually really do have issues because there is no reason to have to want to wear something like that unless there's something wrong with you you have something to hide. and yes it may be something you want to do but the rest of the world sees it as repulsive so if you keep doing something that just isn't necessary in life and just for your wants and the world doesn't want you doing it you should stop. for that just means you have mental issues. we don't promote ski mask or any type of head gear in a bank because we don't know who's under their.

hiding your face is like a criminal, fucking culture, tnx God that you created me not muslim

The mosques are more for hiding weapons, ammunition, rebels etc...than for praying. Let local police search'em! They are sneaky and devious!!! Their ideologist and beliefs pretty much is to have only one religion in the world...theirs! they don't believe in your own rights or democracy! and women and children gets the worse of it!!!

The niquab experiment is not fair. In the western world the ones who hide their faces in public are thieves, killers and terrorists. It's not surprising that people would react the way they did. Black niquab looks pretty threatening to me.

If you will go to Musilms country than you will die,Because there are so many restrictions.But in Democratic countries like uk,Canada there are no restrictions for wearing a burqha it hides the identity and looks scary and provokes other girls to wear burqha which is happening in India now.It should be banned.

oooh creates fear finding them in the mosque or the home what about the Koran find them and kill them if they are hiding find them and kill them and Islam is the highest growing enforce religion Girls wont speak out because their familys will kill them so you cant believe any woman

If anyone wears a niqab or burqa they are not communicating openly. \nWesterners rely on seeing the full facial expression when talking to someone. When only the eyes are exposed it comes over as sinister, this person must be hiding something. \nIt is no secret that if you wanted a job in a bank in years past, you needed to ensure you did not have a beard. \nIn fact most banks around the world insist nowadays on their customers removing helmets and balaclavas if you go within their doors,, because of identification. They want to know who they are dealing with: is this person hiding something, are they a crim, are they dishonest ?

We are not hiding anything,says the masked woman.

2.03 Dressed up/covered up to the hilt..quote 'We're not hiding anything'

I do not see why we cannot get rid of the burka by invoking existing civil law of not wearing a disguise in public.  To hide your identity as a back robber would is not allowed.  This burka is pure craziness.  I will fight against its acceptance in Canada tooth and nail.

There are a lot of things that we have not put into law, because they are covered by common sense. If a Muslim woman goes into a shop and makes a purchase It is reasonable for the shop keeper to want to see their face, after all a large robe can hide a lot of shop lifted goods.. We can make that law if it becomes necessary, so a person must comply with the law and not claim that their religious law is greater. Trouble with the Muslim religion is that it is a political system within a religion.. Just think of all the wrong that was done in the name of Christianity, we have learnt from that, now the Muslims have to learn the same lesson.

She lies right from the get go,she says shes not hiding anything,shes hiding her damn face.

The full niqab - what a great outfit for robbing banks or hiding bombs - there is no way men would be able to conceal themselves this way and there is no way women should be allowed to conceal their identity. And to boot there is nothing in the Koran saying women should wear the niqab - it is a much older tribal custom.

Is it to hide those horrid noses and faces?

Such better muslim women, your face is visually offending to the public keep hiding such compassionate faith

Khan? Why don't you go to a place that accepts your BS. You do not belong here. A better muslim is one who is hiding behind a piece of cloth.

The problem is that people still think there are different types of muslims. There really isn't. Islam is a religious-ideology of which the entire endgame is to takeover. Read for yourself... Whether through political deception and power like Obama or through force and killing like Isis it is all the same...the end game is the same. \n\nAny Muslim that tells you it is a religion of peace is completely lying to your face. In the Quran they are taught that former doctrines are superseded by later doctrines. Well guess what...Muhammad was peaceful in the beginning and not so much at the end\n\nThe Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers for the sake of Islamic rule. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding. Muslims who do not join the fight are called 'hypocrites' and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not join the slaughter.\n\nUnlike nearly all of the Old Testament verses of violence, the verses of violence in the Quran are mostly open-ended, meaning that they are not restrained by the historical context of the surrounding text. They are part of the eternal, unchanging word of Allah, and just as relevant or subject to interpretation as anything else in the Quran. \n\nViolence is so ingrained in Islam that it has never really stopped being at war, either with other religions or with itself. Don't be deceived by the few, get ready for a war.

So what if your aren't forced into it. Yu hide your face, and strike fear into others. No one knows if you're criminal inside, a man holding a big knife. Show your face, or we hide ours too, in full face helmets, or whatever tents.

But why would u want to hide your face?

They were hijabs and niqabs to hide their ugly fat terrorist faces and overweight bodies.

If I hated my enemy as much as isis supposedly does I wouldnt rape them or take them home and marry them... play house. ...... even in a f-up way. that seems strange to me ! I wouldnt want to hate anyone that bad anyway...... I think they are just thugs punks murders extortionist pedophile thieving liars cheats psychopaths major defects that hide behide religion

Those Muslim women are laughable saying it was a choice they made for themselves. Just look at the women who were raised Muslim and went apostate. If they didn't fall victim to an honor killing then they went into hiding. Is that really a choice women should have to make?

Canadians have lived their lives being seen and heard, since the beginning. Seeing the faces of hidden Canadians, and to hide one's face becomes suspicious. Women of the Middle East should be GLAD, if not more, to have found a Country where they can continue to embrace their religion WITHOUT hiding their faces. Finally a safe place where they can be themselves, face and all!

if that lady have not hide to anything why wear she a burka then you have hide your face i wouldn,t hide anything then i won,tt wear a burka at all

The moment you choose to wear a particular kind of clothing, which has the explicit purpose of hiding your face from the whole world, and you refuse to take it off it does define you! You can state that you aren't defined by what you wear when you proof that you can wear anything and still be yourself.

Stephen Harper had to hide in a closet during the Ottawa terrorist attack. \nAfter that event he started to criticize Muslims in Canada. \nPerhaps he wants to give them back the gift they gave him: fear.

covering your face hides you from legal view; it should not be allowed. you don't even know if it is a man or women under that burqah. stopping someone in a car makes them unidentifiable. they should show the face for legal reasons in public.

muslim fear bill C-51..... got something to hide?

I just don't understand how can you love someone who hides her face behind a mask or niqab or whatever fuck they call it. I saw one a few days ago here in Chicago and believe it or not my 5 year old niece was scared of seeing her in the grocery store. I had to tell her that she is some sort of ninja woman!!

The niquab is jeopardizing my safety. I have no idea who is under that garb. That is scary people. It is a sign of bondage. This is your choice to do in the privacy of their home NOT when in public. They are perpetually drawing attention to themselves when they wear this garb across their faces. I am really scared of having a person wearing this when I am around. This is CANADA people. In Canada this is NOT we wear. Canadians could not go to Pakistan and change their rules. Canada does not accomodate the hiding of the face especially when driving and in other public places like court. I am not racist, just a realist.

It must be incredibly freeing to hide your identity from people, I wish I could get away with it.

You know, you won't accept a religion that covers their womens face and hides their identity.

Strange that these women that hide their faces wear slutty-looking eye makeup.

Good. It's a violent, hideous cult that oppresses everyone who is not a Muslim male.  The women wear veils to hide bruises.  Fuck Islam.  I'm glad anti-Islamic sentiment is growing.

They where that to cover there faces from man they not hiding anything

the Niqab is to hide the bruise marks that the husband gives when he beats her. That and Muhammad has a body count so high Genghis khan Joseph stallin Chairman Mao and Adolf Hitler combined cannot match.

There is absolutely nothing modest or virtuous in parading your religiosity by going against the majority of the society, and covering the whole face when the rest of the society doesn't hide it. Don't like being looked at weird? Stop looking weird!

They are not hiding anything, they just have bad dental

When someone decides to hide themselves while out in public... they are effectively insulting the public. They are saying, 'I can see you but you can't see me... I am superior to you'. Awful. We should all be able to see each other out of respect for each other. Muslims complain about a lack of respect for their religion and culture but they don't respect other religions and cultures e.g. face covering. This is simply not compatible with the freedoms, liberties and openness that I grew up with and stand for.

oh my god f*ck Isis now everybody is calling us terrorists and why females stupid severe husbands are forcing their wives to hide every thing while Quran didn't said that and Hijab isn't from culture and I don't think you will get fried in hell because of not wearing it

wearing hijab,burqa,niqab has nothing to do with being more religious, they jus want to push extreme islam more into society to see how much they can penetrate, its part of ther inferiority/superiority complex. where as in muslim countries non muslims need to hide ther identity in fear of ther life. this is the fault of western politicians allowing muslim immigration. islam does not even beleive in freedom of religion or freedom from religion. u cant hav a secular,democratic country with a non democratic, non secular totalitarian ideology. geert wilders is right, dont make the same mistakes as europe. let muslim countries take in muslim refugees,asylum seekers etc etc

cheap-skate bullies, back in the 1930's it was jewish razor gangs vs the Black Shirts, these are the new bullies/street thugs hiding their base instincts behind 'allah' - get a job, read a book! nasty but a bit sad, too

no not Jews but Zionists. the true orthodox Jews they know the truth, they don't get the mentioned in the media but they know what Israel has become. Muslims regard these people along with true christian as brothers and sisters. these Zionist Jews are in no way religious in fact quite the opposite, they are aligned shaytan (the devil). they hide behind the mask of being jewish all the while they own the banks, athe media and control governments. Please watch The Arrivals if u want the truth.
