People who wear the niqab regularly do identify themselves as needed. In private, to a woman.

She's obviously Asian, sad fact is a lot of white people can't tell one from other at the best of times, but during WWII? My people didn't know better or give a shit, she would have been targeted daily during that time.
These Muslim threads are always funny, because it doesn't matter how much of a xenophobic asshole anyone in these news stories happens to be; there are always posters whose FIRST REACTION is to talk about why they also don't like what the attacked person was wearing.
Like the people in terror attack threads whos first reaction is "Pls dont be muslim"? I'd say the important part is that the condemnation happens. People also talking about something that is a hot topic currently in many countries is no surprise and to be expected.

And the niqab is also not typically worn by terrorists, what's your point?
MrToughPants
Brian Burke punched my mom
For reference, this is a niqab:
Also the racist woman is pathetic.
"As we entered the car, my wife (who wears an Islamic veil niqab) decides to smile politely and wave innocently at the lady assuming everything was good"
How does he know his wife smiled if she is wearing that?
my point is don't normalize anonymity in public places. doesn't matter what kind of dress.
your point is "not typically" which isn't really worth much

"”She was demanding this man show her some form of ID, calling out that she didn't belong here, and that we shouldn't let her walk around freely because we didn't know what she could have hiding under her dress," Ms Guff stated."
That's true if you're wearing a skirt lol
And it's also true if you wear baggy pants or a hoodie, which, coincidentally, also has people being attacked for wearing due largely to racially discriminatory views
EDIT: Also, regardless of your views of the niqab, the truth is that niqabs are an excuse to attack, not the reason to attack. I mean, people see Sikh people wearing turbans and use that to justify attacking them as a "Muslim terrorist." It's just an excuse to abuse.

i dont think youll ever be in that situation
It's true if you're wearing clothes full stop lol.
The real question of this thread.

You're infinitely more likely to suffer violence from someone wearing skinny jeans than someone wearing a niqab, get real.

If I got beat up by someone in skinny jeans I would want to hide my face in public too.
Just putting this here so you know which veil is called which. You might have confused miqab for burka.
And here my jealous ass sits wanting capes to come back in fashion. I like The Incredibles but that woman was wrong. Regal capery is dashing
you're kinda missing the point there

They're married. He knows his wife by her mannerisms.
You smile as much with your eyes as you do with your mouth #prosmiletactics #smilehack #gringankers
EDIT: also what that guy above me said but that's not as awesome so

She knew that woman was not a terrorist or she wouldn't be harassing her like that.
Also Youtube suggested this to me

You can't tell when someone you know very well is smiling from their eyes?
I agree with them. I get your point. It isn't exactly nuanced or heady. It's just a shit point.
Anonymity wasn't a concern for muslim dress(?) before. Now that people's fee fees are all in a tingle suddenly we have these dumb arguments floating around for why we should harass/ oppress people? If there are local laws about covering your face fine. I get that. We have them here and it makes sense. Balaclavas/ costume masks/ etc are illegal in some counties and the bans extend to this kind of headgear. But in cases where it is already acceptable why change things for everyone now because of imaginary/ statistically insignificant problems? Instead I propose protection so people don't get harassed just because someone gets uppity over how someone else looks.
I'm guessing the concern is if for some reason it gets unaligned while driving.

I suppose we should ban long hair then.

Why? Are you never fine with people being anonymous in public spaces? Like at all?
uh, why?
I don't think that serves an equally dangerous risk. I'm not even arguing to ban niqabs.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Now im not a violent person...but if that was me, I maybe would be heavily considering knocking her out for banging on my damn car like that.
OK, you got me. LOL
What does it matter? His wife did nothing to deserve such abuse.
Personally I don't like the Niqab or anything that covers the person's face due to my deafness as I lip read people so I would struggle understanding a person wearing one.
However while I don't like them it I don't agree with them being harassed or being accused of being a terrorist as they have the right to wear them in peace just like I have the right to wear a hoodie top in peace.
One of the eyes is in a neutral pose where as the other is the person smiling.
It isn't hard to guess which is which, especially when waving to greet someone is added into the mix.

I wonder if she is from Myanmar? There is substantial racial hatred there towards Muslims at the moment.
What can be said? The woman is being beligerent, nasty and ignorant. Also, considering she is likely to also suffer racism in many areas, it would be nice if she had a little bit more self awareness.

Go away, crazy.
You're banned and this is late but I was never asked to provide photo ID when taking exams at university. All they asked for was my student number.
Potentially I could have paid another person to take my exam for me and as long as they had that number(which I would have given them to recite) they would have allowed them to take the exam regardless of what they were wearing.
Panicky fears about stealthy exam surrogates sneaking in under disguises of religious dress to take other people's exams for them are completely unwarranted when you can do it just as effectively in jeans and a t shirt.
This is of course me taking your supposed fears at face value and not the weird concern trolling they obviously are.

Australia doesn't have a ban so that women is being ridiculous. She might want to move to France or Belgium who have banned it. Not that you're safer from terrorists. You're much safer in Aus so far.
There has been female suicide bombers wearing niqab and burka unfortunately. It's said to be used increasingly as they're more likely to be undetected. This is not anime, its sadly real life.

This woman should be sectioned...That kind of mental illness has social reprocussions. So much loathing in here, she seriously must hate herself. Well, there is no much to like. I mean even if there was a god, she would be going straight to hell...But there isn't, and she is just projecting because she is damaged - mentally, physically, in everything. I both despise her and have compassion for her...
The anime part is her thinking she can take them on.
