To be entirely honest, I don't really care what your wife wears.
This is an issue regarding The Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada. It is explicit. No discrimination against religious beliefs. What constitutes a belief shouldn't be up to the Government to dictate, unless that belief may cause harm to an individual or those around them.
I don't really see how this is hard to understand. Be accepting, and don't judge people. It has the happy side effect of making you a better person, too.
(Note, I'm not religious at all. I'm here advocating based entirely on my belief that we have an amazing Charter of Rights)

What constitutes a belief shouldn't be up to the Government to dictate, unless that belief may cause harm to an individual or those around them. So police and government officials shouldn't be able to identify someone wearing a Niqab? Hiding one's identity is a safety issue, and harm could follow... I fully agree with the rest BTW, but you do need to realize, there are unsavoury practices around the world that are justified by 'religious' belief...
- CanSpice 13y agoI'm not sure how wearing a Niqab while doing your desk job somehow constitutes a security risk.
- richardlblair 13y agoI don't subscribe to the "if you are wearing a Niqab you are a terrorist" belief. You have a better chance of choking on your own vomit then being attack by a terrorist. Politicians use the "safety" concern argument to make you accept it, but just because the news lady tells you about a single incident about a person wearing a Niqab doesn't mean anything. the unsavory things you speak of around the world, well, they aren't here.
