Poll question: For the believers

In Islam, is the wearing of a facial covering by women a proper expression of servility to God?

Obviously those who believe think that there's a certain reality to the instructions they've received through parents, preachers, the Bible, etc. If the Koran spells out that belief in that God means that women should cover their face, why should that be something any tolerant religious person should wish to challenge? If you don't believe that these coverings are appropriate, why does the Western world expect a properly adorned woman to wear makeup, jewelry, and dresses?

(in a reply, maybe you could explain your reasoning)
