I am originally from Turkey and I don't know about this ban. I am a religious Muslim and wearing niqab is not seen as a religious duty by most Muslims including by myself. I would not be bothered by this ban as itself. What bothers me is that I see it as another sign of distancing from liberal values. Do you really think it is a coincidence that this is happening now in 2017 when we have Trump in the White House, Putin in Russia and Erdogan in Turkey? When far right parties winning elections in Western Europe and Eastern Europe is governed by dictators? I am a religious Muslim who believes in liberal democracy and this is the main reason I came to Canada from Turkey. But the idea that immigrants should be forced to integrate by state power is not a liberal idea. Carl Schmitt has ideas like this not Rawls or Dworkin. What threatens Western way of life is not a veil on the face of a marginal woman but embracing Schmitt's ideas instead of Rawls'.
