Many Muslims, and some non-muslims, will not agree with me when I applaud Jason Kenney’s move to ban niqabs and burkas when new immigrants take their oath of citizenship. The niqab nonsense has been going on in Canada for quite some time now with the arrival of Muslim immigrants who like to bring their baggage with them. Kenney, the minister Citizenship and Immigration, is right. The oath of citizenship — an oath of loyalty to the Queen and her successors, to obey the laws of Canada and to fulfil the duties of being a citizen — should be taken seriously. And everyone should know openly who is taking the oath — not with hidden faces and behind masks — and if they are actually uttering the words at all.

I am disturbed by this post’s intolerance towards our fellow muslim’s chosen expression of dress, and your decision at IsmailiMail to republish it here. Pluralism means the acceptance of all forms of expression that are peacable, and tolerance of differences in its truest form and it is this, i believe, that we should seek to espouse.
