Voting and the veil...it's not the good Muslims I'm worried about

I'm not worried about the good Muslims who want to vote. A good Muslim who takes an oath to affirm that the information on her ID is correct won't lie.

I'm worried about unscrupulous types who could pass themselves off as Muslims, who could swipe identities, or pretend to be Muslims who aren't voting.

Maybe a few recalcitrant Muslim women might balk at showing her face.

Just too bad. It's not about you. It's about making sure the crooks don't engage in electoral fraud.

At any rate, I don't think most Muslim women really care to show their faces to another woman. Most RO's have women around. Show the veiled woman's face face to another woman. Problem solved.

It's not a Muslim thing because I don't think it's the Muslims who are the problem-- it's the political correctness of Elections Canada and the cheaters who are the problem.
