A British visitor to Canada complained to airport authorities when he learned that Muslim women wearing niqabs were not required to reveal their faces, and thus confirm their identities, to security screeners. This was a different procedure from that required of non-Muslim passengers, and also violated Canada’s official air security rules. The airline in question responded by... yep, you guessed it: threatening to sue the complainant.In other news, the British Muslim firebrand Anjem Choudhary is echoing the late Enoch Powell by predicting “Rivers of Blood” in Britain. Mr. Choudhary, however, is prophesying the sanguineous effluent as a response by outraged Muslims to the disrespect shown towards Muslim women by a kafir TV presenter.
