Why is it that the Globe and like-minded "progressives" are inexcusably silent when it comes to the social regression synonymous with countries where the niqab is common, do they pretend it's a coincidence? The Globe is incapable of any critical analysis of societies "governed" by political Islam (Islamism). Gender equality, LGBT rights, maternal health, reproductive rights - there are 57 members of the OIC at the UN, how many champion any of the aforementioned values? Instead they pretend like it's simply about cultural relativism that women are made to feel ashamed for "immodesty" for not covering their hair, as if they are responsible provoking sexual assault by men who can't control themselves at the sight of uncovered hair? Canada doesn't beat women for wearing ripped jeans or punish homosexuals with the death penalty because we are an advanced civilized society. Look at Europe's experience, as if social division and segregation is a sign of "diversity"?
