Niqab wearer asked to leave restaurant in Germany

so you're a vegan?

In plain English then, have you worn the veil?

You are not obliged to accept it, you're not living their lifestyle. Grow up past your assumptions and actually have first hand interactions with them. The amount of fear and paranoia the West breeds is ridiculous!, half of you haven't even spoken to a woman in a Niqab and you apparently know all of her strife and struggles.

so you're a vegan?

I believe his point is that halal slaughter causes unnecessary additional suffering to the animal in that it is forced to be fully conscious when slaughtered whereas I believe most non-halal meat is stunned prior to this.

This means a woman with a short skirt and clear cleavage can enter a restaurant in an Islamic country and not be judged too, right?

there are numerous islamic countries, not only Saudi arabia ad UAE. and Germany is not a religious country but a democracy. where a women can wear anything she likes.

Women in niqab do not want to interact with non-mahrams.

My specific point was to ask why @Angry Bird finds killing a moth unacceptable, but is happy to celebrate a lamb having its throat slit and bleeding to death whilst fully conscious.
I just found it hard to understand.

I believe his point is that halal slaughter causes unnecessary additional suffering to the animal in that it is forced to be fully conscious when slaughtered whereas I believe most non-halal meat is stunned prior to this.

Yes (I have worn an item of clothing that covers my face, in public. On several occasions)

Also, if a woman absolutely believes in Allah and his ability to punish her for not following his rules, is following these rules really "choice"?

A tiny minority of men commit serious crimes, but the police would much rather focus on the minority than on the majority who don't

This make no sense whatsoever.
It is beyons argument that the niqab/burqa is sometimes forced on women, sometimes with threats of violence. Are you claiming that this does not make it a symbol of oppression - at least in those cases?
And if it is a symbol of oppression for some women, then it is quite appalling that other women will glibly claim they choose to wear it. They are essentially saying "your suffering and oppression means nothing to me".

BTW, are you aware that in societies run under strict adherence to Islamic doctrine and sharia, it is a punishable offence for women to be in public without the prescribed covering?
Is that a problem with "my mentality" as well?

halal is still stunned prior to killing. I don't think that was his point at all otherwise he would have said so before. He clearly lost at his own game @QE2

I thought it was otherwise, can you provide evidence for this ?

First, Islam doesn't demand that women cover their face.

Second, it just means that there is a possibility that you won't be able to use certain venues if you refuse to remove your mask. It is a personal choice that has certain repercussions, like so many things in life.

So you'd be happy for me to walk around the prayer room in your local mosque with my shoes on?

Of course not. What sort of question is that?

No. Some clothes are banned in Germany and business owners have also the right to ban some brands of clothes.

the niqab is a symbol for religious freedom, it is not banned in Germany. It is a woman's right to choose what she wears. you cannot dictate over somebody's choice of clothing. It is simply anti-democratic, against individual liberty and religious freedom.

Exactly I wear it out of my OWN choice. Why is that so HARD to comprehend? Honestly.

Please explain to me how covering yourself up is a symbol of religious freedom and how its anti democratic to ban clothing that poses as a security risk.
