Canada's government has introduced a ban on the wearing of veils while swearing the oath of citizenship. Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Jason Kenney told a news conference in Montreal anyone wanting to become a Canadian would have to show their face.

You're a Muslim; aren't you supposed to support your niqabi sisters instead of laws banning Islam?

Any new attacks like the one against the niqabi sister at the mall?
Stop trying to exaggerate the story. No one is banning Islam in Canada. Their not even banning wearing the veil in public but rather just for one particular case. Hot dam if you want to become a Canadian Citizen have manners and show your face whiling taking the oath. Pretty simple.
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.
