The Canadian Government is going to the Supreme Court in an attempt to stop Pakistani born teacher Zunera Ishaq from keeping her niqab on while receiving citizenship.
Mansoor Ladha himself a Muslim, says "the niqab nonsense has been going on for quite some time and we need to put an end to it", do you agree?

Yes, I agree.
The wearing of the Niqab in western countries and cities causes suspicion and resentment that simply needn't exist - although I do agree that a personal choice is involved.
However, for a ceremony such as citizenship receipt, it is the responsibility of the receiver to show that he or she is willing to embrace the cultural attitudes of his or her adopted country - and adhering to personal choices for divisive clothing is not a good start.

Sounds like she's an attention seeker imo!
///Muslim scholars, imams and even niqab wearers have publicly stated that wearing a niqab is not part of the Muslim religion. Women are not forced by their religious or cultural beliefs to conceal their faces behind the niqab, and neither are they forced by anyone else, including their husbands. It is a woman’s personal and private choice.
A Muslim woman can go to Mecca for hajj — the sacred Muslim pilgrimage — without wearing a niqab, but she refuses to attend a citizenship ceremony and show her face. How hypocritical!///
The article says:
"The issue has divided the country".
Really! The Canadian bien-pensants may be divided on the issue (why, even Andy can see through this one!), but how many normal Canadians see this woman as anything else than what she is:yet another Islamo-fascist who has come to a foreign country not to be a willing participant in its cultural life, but to impose her own values upon it? The woman' s oath of allegiance would be a lie whether she wore a niqab, did not wear one, or deliveed the oath stark naked.
