I can understand the outrage if they banned wearing the hijab or even, to a lesser extent, wearing the niqaab in public...lakiin it's only practical that they remove the niqaab when taking photos for government i.d.'s or the swearing in ceremony for Canadian citizenship.
At the end of the day, this is a gaalo country and they've graciously accepted us as refugees when our own Muslim "brothers" back home are the reason we left...part of being a Muslim is showing gratitude for their kindness and so we shouldn't disrupt their societal order over something that isn't even wajib. We need to stop being hypersensitive and save our outrage for if they ban hijab or salat, pillars of our faith that we can't compromise on.
