We had a twist on this in Florida which I found sort of humorous though. A Muslim woman wanted to be able to get a driver's license - and have her face covered in the photo. Personally, I don't think she should be allowed to do that - driving is a privilege, not a right - and part of that, in our country, is that the driver be able to be clearly identified from their DL. It went round-and-round, I don't recall how it came out (any Floridians here know?).

It came down to - if she wanted to get her license - she had to abide by the laws of the US. We have religious tolerance - but we need to have photo ids - anyone can be covered and then who are we supposed to know who they are. As you said - a license is a priveldge - not a right. In Saudi Arabia - as I said - she wouldn't even be able to drive because she's a woman.
