If the veil is a hindrance to integration of Muslims in Britain, isn't it just as big a problem that Brits (Americans, whoever) can't seem to get over it?

Most religions who do not follow modern Westernized fashion do so partly to separate themselves from the prevailing culture, anyway (this goes for the Amish, Mennonites, etc., as well). Heck, it applies to punks and goths, too, even though they aren't a religion. So what if they want to be separated? Why should they be forced to dress like everyone else?

And while I think that if you move to another country you ought to be prepared to at least learn the language, driving rules, etc., I'm opposed to forced integration. It usually happens on its own after a couple of generations, anyway.
