In a free and democratic society, you may not go around disguised.\u00a0\u00a0You should go around perfectly recognizable, especially in enclosed spaces, where a robber or a terrorist could hide under a mask.\u00a0\u00a0That should be obvious to everybody.\u00a0\u00a0However, some people living in countries not their own are trying to make it less so, with incredible impudence.<\/p>

A few days ago, a Muslim woman from Bangladesh went to a post office in Northern Italy.\u00a0\u00a0She was wearing a niqab, a Muslim dress that leaves only the eyes visible.\u00a0\u00a0The clerk, after seeing her identity card, asked her to show her face so that he could identify her.\u00a0\u00a0She did so at the clerk\u2019s insistence, but then she wrote a letter to a few Italian newspapers, claiming to have been discriminated against.<\/p>\n

The post office answered that there had been no discrimination whatsoever.\u00a0\u00a0They simply enforced the law.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s impossible to identify anyone properly if he doesn\u2019t show his face.<\/p>\n

Regrettably, such incidents are anything but unusual in the Western world nowadays.\u00a0\u00a0And we Westerners do have to be very clear about that.<\/p>

The niqab and the burka, which humiliate women and make identification impossible, should not be permitted.\u00a0\u00a0And no concession should be granted, either.\u00a0\u00a0A woman wearing a niqab or a burka may not ask to be identified in a private area only by female clerks.\u00a0\u00a0This would actually be discriminatory toward the other customers, and anyone might ask for a special identification by personal whim.<\/p>\n

In the West, to go around perfectly recognizable is not an opinion you may agree or disagree with.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s a law \u2014 which is the same for everybody.<\/p>
