For the record I am an Engineer/Doctor of Medicine to be ----- but that is not the point here ----- your analogy between Kirpaan and Niqab does not make any sense to me at all ----- ever heard of Argumentation ----- reasoned and logical way of asserting a position or belief and critical thinking???.
Or let me put it in layman’s terms for you ----- have you ever thought of comparing apples with apples ----- Of course it would have been totally different if you were to compare Sikh Turban with Muslim Niqab -----
Nuff said!
