Reader comment on item: Niqab Security Outrages at Airports
in response to reader comment: niqabs and security

Submitted by Joshipal (India), Aug 5, 2010 at 04:31

Dear Zahirah,

We are talking about Canada and US which are not Islamic countries like Pakistan and Arab...here men and women have equal rights ...so u expect the govt...shud waste money to create infrastructure so that they can frisk some stupid niqabis....such people shud not be allowed to board or enter secular countries....muslims say that they are being targetted..,...they first want to be separate from other and than they say they are being polarozed....such a crap....people around the world need to take a stand against such hardliners instead of giving in to their demand.
