New Zealand Muslim women regularly told to remove the Veil

LM previously wrote an article about the growing racism Muslims are encountering in Australia which despite the comments I got has been proved correct as Australian Police are now officially allowed to remove the Niqab (veil).

However, it now transpires that in New Zealand Muslim women have been regularly told to remove the Niqab in order to get on buses and in one case a Saudi student was left crying on the street when the Bus driver kicked her off a crowded bus.

In order to be fair the NZ PM John Key has condemned the discrimination and called for more tolerance however as I've also previously highlighted the NZ Govt who themselves have for example behaved poorly towards Jewish religious customs and slaughter methods need to get their act together on this issue.

NZ is a country that traditionally has been respectful towards Muslims unlike Australia and as a result they have benefited from a huge and lucrative trade with Muslim Countries. My advice to the good people of New Zealand is don't follow the Australian racist model, so please continue with your traditional respect for all minorities.

  1. Niqab is not obligartory, these traditions do not belong to Islam, really don`t know why women
    put themselves in such a predicament.
    By the way LM i think your pick is distastful
    and on the border line of sexualizing the image
    of a muslim woman. Please do yourself a favour
    to your soul and the Ummah, remove it, you look like your up for it, in NIQAB ughh
