    Default Re: ISIS on the offensive in Iraq

    If people have the right to cover their face, I should also have the right not to interact with them.

    I personally think that it is against the mores of UK society and should be discouraged. There are plenty of other countries where they can do so.

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

    Bingo. They are free to do their thing and you are free to do your thing. You can't force them to show their face, and they can't force you to interact with them.

    You can with the former, here at least, it isn't really enforced though but it's so rare that there isn't really anything to get upset about. For the latter, voluntary excluding yourself is a right as well, the consequenses you drag along with your tent.

    What about toning one's car windows? It is also an attempt at privacy.

    And exactly when does one communicate through toned windows?

    I shut my curtains at night as I don't want to communicate. I would not expect to try to communicate with one through them.
