I thinkt the most interesting part of the whole article is the person who was enraged and snatched it down was an 'international advisor'. Canada has had a lot of debate about the veil: as a multicultural country, a lot of Canadians haven't been exposed to full niquab. You do see a lot of hijab, but not the full abaya-face-covered deal. And a lot of Canadians, rightly or wrongly, don't always fully understand the difference between a woman choosing to be veiled and being forced to wear a burka (I know this because I'm Canadian and spend a lot of time explaining how abayas are beautiful and cultural and not repressive at all blah blah blah to friends back home).

Anyway, I get why she took this photo. It was to vividly show that women are the same, veiled or not. yay. I just find it really interesting that someone from the islamic community, someone who's whole job is supposed to be about fostering ties and understanding, was so enraged they removed it without permission, and even damaged it in the process! seems liek someone's not doing their job very well!
