    • Abstract:
      The article presents the views of some Christians on whether Christians need to support laws that prohibit Muslim women from wearing the face veil in public. David Johnson, a visiting scholar of the University of Pennsylvania, opposes the ban as it discriminates against Muslims. Christine Schirrmacher, a scholar with the Institute of Islamic Studies of the Evangelical Alliance, emphasizes the need to focus on women's rights. Joseph Cumming stresses the need to defend Muslim liberty.
