Which is exactly why I've been quoting research and statistics and videos from scholars whose entire profession is to understand what is happening.

Racial/religious profiling does not work. The Ted video I've quoted with
Dr Marc (a scholar with politics and security as his core interests) accounts for different cases where even the families of extremists tipped the authorities off, that their family member is now a security risk and that doesn't happen when you marginalize an entire community. That was the core of his message.
-As far as Pakistan doing the racial profiling, it was the P police that was found doing that and I don't have to tell what the general perception of how effective and efficient it is, because that opinion is rather well known.
Again, our response to it from all corners of Pakistan was of outrage. Yet you stated it was "justified" and tried to make a connection with the situation you have at UK to forward your narrative about your "advice" and now your telling me that "we're not okay with profiling"
-And I've repeatedly said,
your "legal defense" will be of no use, when there is a hostile environment against wearing the attire (which there already is if we're to believe scientific polls and scholars that I've cited before). Heck your the very existence of your thread proves that point for me, where one of your prime pointers was "[Niqab]will endanger them due to excessive suspiciousness and
uninvited discrimination". So if nothing else sincerely answer this one question for the entire thread;
" Suppose if what you suggest (the 'willingful' abolishing of niqab by muslim women for xyz concerns) comes to pass, where muslim women decide what you suggested is completely fine and should be acted upon. Things settle down in 3-4 years and a young muslim lady wants to cover up her face and she has no legal hindrance in doing so. But will she be able to cover up her face considering;
-Her own sisterhood willingly gave up that attire.
-Now the bar for what the " socially acceptable level of covering up" has changed, thanks to the muslim women who handed out a smashing argument to the west i.e. "Other muslim women also cover up, why don't you cover up like them if you want to?"
Once, you give away your liberty, do you really think you'll be able to enjoy your previous rights even if there is no legal objection? The TSA in the US is a prime example of what happens when you trade off your personal rights for security, and I'm sure you haven't watched a single video I posted based on your last response, which totally neglected a video answering most of your points about profiling etc.
Yeah sure,
I can believe that. Especially when research as early as (Hyman and Sheatsley, 1953) had uncovered a correlation between education and political tolerance. Do I need to state the condition of education in mostly poor/war torn muslim countries vis a vis the west?
