I may seem harsh but I refuse to speak to anyone where I can't see their full face. If someone wearing a balaclava started talking to me I would blank them, because I couldn't see their facial reactions and it's not really a conversation. Similarly if a women wearing a face veil was talking to me I'd blank her too.

They pose a security risk, they would never let anyone through an airport wearing a balaclava because of the same reason. It's difficult to identify anyone wearing a veil and it could easily just be men (or female terrorists) dressed in this gear and no-one would be able to recognise them cos they'll all look the same.

I don't see why they should wear the full-body/face veil to follow their culture when there are more subtle veils out there that also follow their culture while still embracing our Western culture.

Sorry, but if you were talking to Zachary his location clearly shows he has spent time in Tel Aviv.
