link24/07/2009 An Australian Muslim woman has protested against an Australian bus driver barring her from boarding a bus, because she was wearing a veil.
The mother-of-two said the driver told her she was not allowed to wear her veil, which covers her hair and lower face, and was only let on the bus after a heated argument.
"As I was stepping onto the bus the driver said 'You can't get on the bus wearing your mask'," she told Friday's Daily Telegraph newspaper.
When she explained it was religious dress, the woman said the driver responded: "Sorry, it's the law."
"I told him it wasn't the law and he said 'You have to show me your face,'" she added.
"I said to him, 'There's no difference between me and that lady sitting there who chooses to not wear what I'm wearing,'" she said.
The bus company, Hillsbus, said the driver was being questioned over the claims.
"We are investigating it and doing that as quickly as we can," a spokeswoman said. "We need to get to the bottom of it, work out what happened and what went on, and what we need to do about it."
There are some 375,000 Muslims in Australia.
Last month in a Germany court, a pregnantMuslim woman, Marwa Sherbini, was stabbed 18 times in front of her two-year old son and her husband was shot by police instead of the killer. Marwa, now known as the "veil martyr" was killed because she wore the Hijab. Her killer, had earlier insulted her and her Islamic dress and was charged by the court.
Guess What?
This Shall not appear at PP. Secular Tony ignored the pregnant Headscarf Martyr , stabbed 18 times in MODERN AGES, for trying to take German society back to the middle age. He is okey with Sarkozy to Veil-Wearing Women: Stay Home.
Hamas Basher is worried: Hamas is Trying to Take Palestinian Society Back to the Middle Ages!
Sarkozy may say to French muslims: Love it or leave it!"
Hamas Can't.
Personaly, I believe, Hejab has nothing to do with religion, I am against banning it, and at the same time I an against forcing it.
