You can't protect freedom by taking away other people's freedom. People need to show their faces in some situations, such as when traveling, but otherwise they should be free to cover up their ugly mugs. Of course, banks and other businesses are also free to refuse admission to people wearing face coverings.
I wonder if the veil ban also applies to royal weddings.

A blanket ban would be going too far.
I saw what you did there....bwaaahhahaahha
Wow! I really disagree with this one.. It is a definite infringement on personal rights. I completely agree with the idea of showing a face in school, else how would the teacher know the proper student is in the proper seat for a test or for role. I fully agree with showing a face for any financial transaction where a driver's license or ID must be presented. No face, no transaction. But to ban it in public, as others have stated, is going way too far. As much as I dislike Islam and it's practices, nothing should prevent a person walking down the street with a veil. NOTHING>
The Parliament decided veils are contrary to Danish values. Who knew forced assimilation is a Danish value? Reminds me of these guys:

Way to go, Denmark. How to embitter and alienate part of your population. What could possibly go wrong?
The Australian right mutter darkly about pulling this shit from time to time, too. They've always made it about terrorists hiding under burkas. This will embolden them to make it about 'Australian values'.
