(1) 50% of Muslims support applying the Sharia
I already provided the links
- over 50% Muslims in 'muslim' countries support the application of Sharia
- 40% in the UK
- I now add it's 50% in the US today:
The Center for Security Policy (CSP) has released the results of a poll showing alarmingly high levels of support for sharia law and violence among the American Muslim community.

According to the nationwide survey, "significant minorities embrace supremacist notions that could pose a threat to America's security and its constitutional form of government."

A majority (51 percent) of Muslims surveyed said they "should have the choice of being governed according to shariah."

Almost 30 percent of American Muslims believe it is legitimate to use violence "against those that insult the prophet Muhammad, the Qur'an, or Islamic faith."

(2) the niqab is not a religious obligation
I could cite lots of world famous scholars who say that (Tariq Ramadan or Hamza Yusuf)
But it will be enough to note that very few countries actually enforce a full face veil
The salafi/wahhabi Gulf States and Afghanistan.
Do you think th eother 50 'muslim' countries are following an haram ideology?

(3) the niqab being the equivalent of the KKK uniform : already answered
A vast majority of women wearing the niqab are adherents of literalist, political Islam.
And literalist, political Islam is as segregationist and violent as anything the KKK cooked up.
