It's not just helmets!

Bandits and criminals through the ages have worn things over their faces for two reasons. 1. its impossible to indentify someone and 2. it's intimidating.
A female student in Turkey told me that there is a certain type of person who will wear the full get up, and its usually making a statement or they have been ordered to by their muslim partner. Its not nesseccesary.
The shop owners had pepper spray in their faces and jewellery stolen, in my opinion its only fair to say...

"FUCK YOUR FAITH, SHOW ME YOUR FACE"

If I can't buy petrol with my face covered I wouldn't expect a jewellers to put up with it. Fuck em. Show your face or don't shop there.

"It's like when there were signs saying no blacks."

No it's not, black people don't choose to be black, people choose to wear burqas.

The bit I did find strange though,

Without racial prejudice I find it extremely odd that is fundamentally socially unacceptable to walk around in a balaclava, yet a blind eye can be turned to the Nijab.

I can't help but try to stare out a woman wearing one.

We have had cases at my work where the person coming for the interview (and being succesful) is not the same person that turns up for work on the start date

Only way it was questioned once was because someone noticed the eye colour was different.

I don't know. Where do you draw the line?

I would find it uncomfortable to work with someone who's face was covered all the time. It might be acceptable in their own culture, but here, I feel most communication is done with facial expressions so isn't compatible.

If I was to go to a 'Muslim' country, with my girlfriend, or if I was a girl myself, I wouldn't be walking around wearing a skimpy bikini, as it goes against their laws and local practices.

Likewise, I wouldn't moan when the calling for morning prayer wakes me up early in the morning - I fully expect that becuase that's where I am.

If I go to Spain, I full well expect not to be able to go in any shops etc during Siesta....but I just get on with what's happening in the country, I don't go knocking on shop doors, demanding I'm let in, becuase 'The shops are open at this time in England!'. It's the local ways of life, if I don't like them, I don't go there.

Bikers aren't allowed to wear helmets at petrol garages, into shops etc...

Nudists can't walk around nude everywhere...

But most people accept that, the headscarf issue is the same..

About time is all I can say.

It is an utter farce that they're allowed at all really.

It's not even religion, its tradition.

whenever i see one of them in the full black gear i always think they're gonna jump in the air and flykick me ninja style.....

anyway i wouldnt expect to be let into any place with my helmet on, its just manners. i keep the helmet on when filling up the bike but take it off as i walk into the station. they have no real reason to cover it up because in all honesty i doubt there hot at all so doubt anyone will eye them up.

sadly at my work i'd probobly get sacked for refusing to serve someone with a ninja outfit on

seing as im scottish, if i go over to their country and get shitfaced, vommit over myself,run through the streets naked and pass out on holy ground after defiling a monument would i get away with it? i mean its my culture.....

People that cover their faces freak me out in general, chavs with scarf's or muslins with slits to look out. I find it hard to trust when I cant see facial expressions or even hear what they are saying under that cloth. I know its another religions tradition but I don't have to like it.
