This goes back to earlier posts of mine - it indicates a need for a new clause in the Charter that will balance these practices with the desire of Canadians to preserve and promote Western mores and customs.  It was never intended that  the Constitution be used to destroy the West from the inside.

By the way, if you see the niqab as a legitimate religious item, one that whose intention is to protect the modesty of the female, don't you find it interesting that men feel no need to protect their own modesty in the same way?  It only applies to women.  Men can walk around as immodestly as they desire, face in full view.

Also, you didn't address the first part of my post.  I think, like nudity, the niqab and burqa should be considered indecent, not just in and of itself, but also because the religion feels no need to apply it to men.  It's hateful towards women and should be considered indent on those grounds.
