In the Bible of old times the veil or covering of women was when they prayed or prophesied or were in church, their clothing 2010 years ago was simple
mainly just cloth so there had to be a distinction then and maybe certain social rules, but today in the Christian world we only find Nuns who cover
their hair who are working with God for the greater good of the community.
Anyway just to clear that up I like to add some quotes from the Bible in how the New Testament removes the veil either literally or symbolically,
either way it is seen as a way to oppress human behaviour and even the Bible says so.
Ezekiel 13 (New International Version)
17 "Now, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people who prophesy out of their own imagination. Prophesy against them 18 and say,
'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Woe to the women who sew magic charms on all their wrists and make veils of various lengths for their heads in
order to ensnare people. Will you ensnare the lives of my people but preserve your own? 19 You have profaned me among my people for a few handfuls of
barley and scraps of bread. By lying to my people, who listen to lies, you have killed those who should not have died and have spared those who should
not live.

Although this is a very different setting you can see how the Veil is very negative, as you know it has security concerns in the West and Europe at
air ports and society in general and no doubt many have used their Veils to lie their way in and out to even cover their bombs as it happens in
different parts of the world.
Ezekiel 13:21 (New International Version)
21 I will tear off your veils and save my people from your hands, and they will no longer fall prey to your power. Then you will know that I am the
LORD.
Text
Ezekiel is mainly about prophecy of the future anyway and how fitting that veils play and large part in the endtime deception and delusion of
political correctness that we have seen mirrored today.
Ezekiel 13
False Prophets Condemned
20 " 'Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against your magic charms with which you ensnare people like birds and I will tear them
from your arms; I will set free the people that you ensnare like birds. 21 I will tear off your veils and save my people from your hands, and they
will no longer fall prey to your power. Then you will know that I am the LORD. 22 Because you disheartened the righteous with your lies, when I had
brought them no grief, and because you encouraged the wicked not to turn from their evil ways and so save their lives, 23 therefore you will no longer
see false visions or practice divination. I will save my people from your hands. And then you will know that I am the LORD.' "

Ensnaring people in their politcal correct ways that not even the politicians can say anything about veils since it critices the Muslim faith which
then brings riots that are out of proportion. But again this veil in Ezekiel 13 could also mean a symbolic veil.
NEW TESTAMENT.
Corinthians 3:14
But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ
is it taken away.
Text
Again Muslims still take the Old Covenant seriously when in fact Jesus gave us freedoms from these old practices no longer needed by Jews. Then again
the Muslims think they are the Jewish bloodlines anyway but again only through Ishmael and not Isacc. Again it is right symbolically that the veil
dumbs down the human freedom and dulls the person's mind. As Corinthians 3 states, only Christ can take it away but they don't believe in Christ
they believe in a the prophet Jesus. Of course Jesus was also a prophet he spoke of the future that is what prophets do and that is the original
meaning of the word, you can not deny that the rest of the Bible calls Jesus Lord or the Son of God based on that.
2 Corinthians 3:13 (New International Version)
13We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at it while the radiance was fading away.
Text
Again the new times have come the Old Testament is old it was time to wake up 2010 years ago, not go back to -4000 years in history.
2 Corinthians 3
12Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. 13We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from
gazing at it while the radiance was fading away. 14But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is
read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. 15Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. 16But
whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18And
we, who with unveiled faces all reflect[a] the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the
Lord, who is the Spirit.
Text
Again Muslims say they follow Moses and the Torah, we have to say which one? Because they think Moses and Noah met each other when in fact that was
many years apart, so even their version of Genesis is different even if they say they follow the Torah. The veil covers their minds and emotions and
freedoms while they think they are giving respect by it when in fact it is an oppression of the human emotions.
2 Corinthians 4
Treasures in Jars of Clay
1Therefore, since through God's mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. 2Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not
use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's conscience
in the sight of God. 3And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4The god of this age has blinded the minds of
unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5For we do not preach ourselves, but
Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. 6For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness,"[a]made his light shine
in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

Symbolically the veil is very negative as a word, it is used to say how things were covered and literally the people of this world who are Veiled are
Veiled from the Gospels of truth and the freedom of Christ, they are veiled by it from rules and laws and the banning of such information in a lot of
the Muslim countries. The Koran mentions the Bible a lot, it even says they should read 'the book' or read it to find answers but unfortunately most
don't have that book as a reference.
This is what the Koran Says.
Qur'an 33:59
"Prophet! Tell your wives and daughters and all Muslim women to draw cloaks and veils all over their bodies (screening themselves completely
except for one or two eyes to see the way). That will be better."
Text
Yes it is in the Koran some say it is just a cultural thing.
Bukhari:V3B48N826
"The Prophet said, 'Isn't the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?' The women said, 'Yes.' He said, 'This is because of
the deficiency of a woman's mind.'"
Text
Since when did Jesus ever speak this way? Anyway if women are covered up then that would be the case.
Qur'an 24:31
"Say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty except what
(must) appear; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display them except to their husbands..."
