Visceral Reaction

Full Niqab in Full Daylight

There is another, insightful, post on Islam (albeit a little long) at Gates of Vienna, by Nicolai Sennels1, a writer from Denmark - perhaps the Danes, and Scandinavians in general, are the ones leading the counter-jihad movement. In a section titled "Disadvantages of Islamization [in Western countries]" Sennels states:
Islamization pushes the indigenous people out of the areas where Muslims and Muslim culture dominate. This is because the Muslim culture is so different from the Western that we find it hard to feel at home and comfortable, and because Islam and Muslim culture is racist towards non-Muslims.
This viscerally gets to the point. I have an almost physical/visceral reaction when I see, more and more common these days, a fully "niqabed" Muslim woman. I've written about this at Our Changing Landscape, and here is the full short post titled "Full Niqab in Full Daylight":
This [see above photo] is what I saw crossing the street while stopping at a red light in downtown Toronto. Well, the one I saw was all in black, which was even more frightening.

It was shocking. A small, squat woman, dressed from head-to-toe in this garb. I have never seen anyone come out dressed in full niqab, as it is called, in full daylight in the city.

It shows a tremendous amount of confidence for her to walk out like this, probably the only one in the streets.

But not for long. If one dares to come out like this, there must be hundreds others getting ready to do so. Slowly, like the less intrusive hijab, this full-length dress is being introduced into our landscape.
