The Muslim Veil again......

[smudge]

Further to all the recent posts regarding Muslims wearing the full veil ('specially the ones with mesh eye slits) - if such a person knocked on your door to read the gas or electric meter, would you:

1. Willingly let them in?
2. Ask them to lift their veil & show their face?
3. Or just turn them away?

Sensible answers only please!

If I cannot see somebody's full face when they knock at my door, even on a legitimate errand such as reading the meter, they would not gain admission. Similarly I would not admit somebody wearing a hoodie or a baraclava. I simply want to recognise somebody and see who I am dealing with.
If they refused me that courtesy, I would not admit them. It's simply a case of wanting to feel safe in my dealings with that person. If they won't provide an environment in which that can happen, I won't do business.

a motorcyclist is asked to remove his helmet before he enters a shop.........why should muslims not have to do the same with the veils? i am in no way racist but why should there be rules for one and not another ?

if a motorcyclist is asked to remove their helmet before they enter a shop then why do muslims not have to do the same with their veils ? i am in no way racist, but why is the rules not for everyone ?

You are absolutely right Mavis!

Wouldn't be much point in having CCTV cameras if everyone were allowed to enter shops wearing veils, balaclavas or crash helmets would there?
