Our faces communicate our thoughts. But we are barred from seeing the faces of many Muslim women. They are a mystery. We do not know if they are happy, sad, angry, or whatever. One thinks the worst, that they are malevolent. They are black non-entities, misfits in our modest tradition. I question their beliefs just as I do the beliefs of everyone else. To advertise their beliefs from afar in such a way, I find offensive. I find it offensive that anyone, of any belief system, should dress to display that belief.
Boris was right to raise the issue, but he should have argued in favour of banning a form of dress that is alien to this country.
