I’m not belittling anything. Where did I make fun of niqab anywhere in my post? And my using Ihram as an example to prove my point is very much relevant. Islam is a very simple religion with clear guidelines. It’s we Muslims who complicate things to suit our own agenda.

My point, which I stand by, is that Non Muslims who live in the Middle East or other Muslim countries are expected to live and abide by the law of the land, then shouldn’t the same be expected of Muslims living in the West/Non Muslim counties? No one is saying you can’t do niqab…what’s being said is during an official swearing in ceremony where your identity must be verified by the person officiating, your face cannot be covered. Now if that 10 minute ceremony takes place in a public environment that is a mixed environment, I don’t see how this is an affront to the Muslim religion.

Shouldn’t Muslims be expected to abide by the laws of the countries? Of course. However, identity verfication isn’t the issue here. That is already being done before they get to the oath. Besides when they introduced this so called law, they didn’t it without any process and just announced it on a whim. On top of that, the courts ruled against it multiple times, so there’s no question of her not following the law. She hasn’t done anything wrong (legally speaking). She got her citizenship last week while wearing the niqab in the ceremony.
