Diversity Advocates Stand Up And Take Credit....

Barbara Kay: A niqab is not a fashion statement

Last November an Egyptian-born, niqab-veiled student was expelled from a French-language course in a Montreal CEGEP. At first "Naema" (she will only reveal her first name) agreed to give oral presentations in class with her veil lowered as long as the male students didn't see her face. Ultimately she decided she did not feel comfortable removing her veil under any conditions. Positions hardened. The immigration department stepped in. Naema was expelled. She feels her religious rights have been violated. More than any other religious "custom," the niqab, it is fair to say, is universally loathed amongst westerners, and for very good reasons. But it is agony for most politically correct pundits to admit that multiculturalism has its limits.

About Me

My photo
I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
