It's surprising that hashtag progressives are not promoting the freedom of religion for members of the KKK community as if some members only wear the cloak as a sign of modesty and piety (and not racism, bigotry, etc). The Civil Liberties Association could take a similar stand. Let's just ignore the fact that the white cloak is a symbol of hate wherever it's common, some people just like to wear it as a sign of faith and modesty. In the same breath, let's just ignore the fact that the niqab is only common where individual freedoms don't exist and women are lashed for the crime of being raped and homosexuals are killed after being outed - it doesn't matter that all over the world, the niqab is synonymous with social regression and oppression - in Canada it means feminism, hashtag because it's 2017. 
Really?
