Hey Gals, Check This Out - Veils In Michigan

As MR inches closer to becoming just a day-late, less popular version of LGF, here's a little something for your Monday morning - viels!

Public transit officials have apologized to a woman wearing an Islamic facial veil who was turned away from a bus and Friday rescinded a rule banning people with face coverings. The ban was aimed at riders wearing Halloween or ski masks and officials had not considered religious dress, Rapid bus system spokeswoman Jennifer Kalczuk said. The rule was issued earlier this year so that an on-board camera system could help identify riders if there is a disturbance.

You know, that's just awesome. The concern isn't about a culture where women are forced to wear things that seem like Halloween costumes. The concern is that they be allowed to go on boarding busses in disguise.

You know, even the Brits are coming around to the idea that the veil is a symbol of the radical incompatibility of Western progressivism and Islamic fanaticism. Which puts the British public ahead of Grand Rapids, Michigan in the "who's more realistic about Islam" race. Which is bad for Grand Rapids, Michigan, since the Brits are about two generations away from sharia.
