In France, the government recently passed a ban on persons in public covering their
  faces in any way, including veils.

 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Photographs are now routinely required on many other documents, including passports,
  employee IDs, voter IDs, and medical insurance cards.

 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

The government claimed this was partly for public
safety and partly to promote equality of the sexes. Even though it has been over a
decade since the attacks of 9/11, fears of terrorist attacks remain very strong in the
United States, Europe, and elsewhere. Does the protection of the public from terrorism
justify overriding strongly held religious views that women must cover their faces with
veils in public? Are there other religious practices that should be curtailed to protect the
public, and with what justification?

Answer to Question 2

Should women be allowed to
refuse photographs without a veil or refuse photographs entirely? Is the reasoning the
same as with a driver's license? Use ethical reasoning to consider these different
circumstances and how you believe they should be handled.
