    What’s the difference between the woman in the center at the top row vs the bottom row? Skin tone?

        a full-face veil.

        Never seen that on anyone So a transparent veil is prohibited if combined with hair coverings? Or just in general?

        I have conflicting feelings about this ban. If it helps women who don’t want to wear it but is forced, great, but if it instead stops women from being part of society because they’re not allowed outside without the coverings, (either by religious choice, or forced by family), not so great.

          It’s really mostly symbolic. It’s estimated that there is less then 100 people that actually wear a niqab/burka across all of Switzerland.

            Far more common here. You see top center a lot, bottom left often and bottom right sometimes.

            What adults do to themselves doesn’t really bother me, but I feel sorry for the little girls I see dressed like this. Why the hell would you dress a 7yo in that? According to the Quran “men and women should dress modestly”, but why force it on small girls?

            If anything I’d ban it for kids. Once you turn 18 you can do what you want. Come to think of it I’d put the same condition on not medically necessary circumcisions.
