RE: Yes
Ironically enough, the same people who are claiming "civil liberties" pertaining to the veil are also refusing cab service to blind people with seeing-eye dogs and people carrying alcohol. Whose "rights" are trumped? This quote is telling: "The owner of the minicab firm, Niven Sinclair, was also very insensitive, telling me {the blind lady} that what had happened to me wasn't really very important, and I should have more respect for other people's culture." No, she shouldn't. Not to the point that you have to subsume your own culture - the culture of the land you also happen to live in. This is insane. Y'all who deployed remember the Cultural Sensitivity training that admonished us to not be "an Ugly American?" Why is there no admonitions against being an "Ugly Immigrant?" Can you imagine the fallout if a Christian pulled something like this? When does it stop?
