Re: Wearing the Niqab in Court
The judge decides if facial reaction is that important.
Hence wearing niqab is assessed on case by case basis.

Re: Wearing the Niqab in Court
In the UAE, even when I was there 7 years ago, women had to remove the face coverings to get their driver's license photo taken. It was a female photographer but male police officers could demand the lady's license and look at it to see if the woman matched her photo.
Even back then, bank managers complained to the government that the veil did not allow them to identify women they were ACTUALLY dealing with and wanted the law changed so that women would need to remove the veil to correctly identify themselves.
Here is an article from Kuwait:

Seems like Muslim countries under Sharia law are more progressive than we are!
The veil has no place in a Canadian courtroom.

I love this guy Mark Steyn. His book 'America Alone' is a must read, IMO. Thanks for the post glacier.

That is kinda funny, could you imagine a Police Line up with all suspects wearing a Niqab.

Funnier still is when the victim says "yup, that's her alright".

Bill Warner explains the problem with the Islamic head covering, and why it differs from other head coverings.
