I don't think that you can ban it altogether though, even if it is an abomination in my opinion.

I don't see how even the most ardent liberal could argue for a woman's right to cover her face if it negatively impacts on her ability to do her job. Besides, it's absurd to think that Western governments shouldn't take sensible action on issues like this for fear of appearing to be targeting Islam. The only reason people are so touchy about the issue is that everyone damn well KNOWS that Islam poses problems for Western democracies, but nobody will say it for fear of being labelled 'racist', etc...
