That's actually a good point. But it's still part of a religion, should it be broken just because of ID?KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

Do you think muslim women have the right to cover their faces when they get a driver's license or other form of government ID? What about a passport picture? Of course they have to show their faces so you can check identity. However, I think it would be appropriate to have one or two muslim-woman friendly polling places that could have a separate room that men aren't allowed in and a female poll worker could check identity. Muslim women are permitted to take off veils when there aren't men around, aren't they?Ryan wrote:

Who says they're not in their country? You can be a Muslim-Canadian... (it is in Canada, is it not?)usmarine2007 wrote:

Is it not then a Canadian value? Are they not Canadians, and therefore part of the Canadian identity? I'm more than happy to have them here.usmarine2007 wrote:

Acctually it is very important. It keeps the ILLEGAL (notice ill-fucking-legal) immigrants from voting with the whole identification check thing for vvoting to make sure ur a citizen and dont fuck up the ballot.Ryan wrote:
Muslim women who wish to vote in Monday's Quebec election must now show their faces when they cast their ballots, the province's chief returning officer announced Friday, in a reversal of an earlier decision.
I really don't think this is necessary. It's a religion, and it's rules are being broken just to vote.
I disagree, we should not make exceptions and offer special privliges because of their religious preference. What are the rules in Canada? Im not familiar with their rules, is there a separation between church and state?kilgoretrout wrote:

Where do you draw the line? Should a Muslim woman be allowed to where the veil at a drivers license photo?Ryan wrote:

Exactly. Just like the asshole cabbies in New York who don't want to pick up people smelling of booze or carrying bacon.deeznutz1245 wrote:
If they want to be accepted as fellow countrymen(women) of Canada, then perhaps they abide to the same rules and regulations without an attempt to obtain special conditions. What would happen if an attractive female Canadien woman walked the streets in an Iranian city? Do you think they would accept her and her nations tradition? No. She would probably be raped and beaten, then jailed. That is what makes Canada a better nation, however, there are always rules wherever you go an it is a citizens obligation to follow them. Removing your headgear for several moments to preserve Canada's election process is not an event that can be deemed as life altering or mistreatment. They need to get the fuck over themselves and play by the rules. This is precisely why many citizens throughout the world hold judgement and resentment against muslims.
LOL... interesting analogy... but yeah, I think all 3 of us are in agreement on this one.ATG wrote:
