Should the Niqab be banned?

I think that the correct response should be to de-emphasize it from Islam. Banning is one extreme, but I don’t see anyone saying that ‘fine, it is a personal choice, but it isn’t islamic’. This should be the crux of the whole thread.

It isn’t Islamic. It’s a security risk. It’s putting people in danger and helping people get away with crimes. You can’t identify a criminal on a security cam if they’re wearing this and you certainly aren’t giving any positive identity to any group. I don’t know if people are realizing it. But this article of clothing scares the crap out of people these days.
