My problem with this ban is that some schools of thought believe that the face veil is a religious obligation. so for some women it is a must that they wear it. and not every Muslim who believes it's obligatory is an extremist. i know a woman who thinks covering everything (including the hands) is obligatory but she doesn't try and push her views onto others nor does she has a n extremist mindset. there are people who think people who wear the headscarf are extremist for thinking that you have to cover your hair.

me personally i wear the niqab but i don't think it's something obligatory. in fact i think in certain situations and jobs (like teaching and going through airports) the niqab shouldn't be worn.

but if you are a student in university i don't see the issue of wearing niqab. i have friends in the states who attend university wearing niqab. so why is it in a muslim country like syria is banning it.
