        Even If there is just ONE woman in Oz being forced to wear niqab in public then it should be banned. #auspol #burqa @MariamVeiszadeh

        Burqa/Niqab are a POLITICAL STATEMENT. Qur'an want women to be modest. Not the centre of attention. #auspol @MariamVeiszadeh

        Burqas are NOT about modesty. They represent Oppression of Women & are a policatal statement of separation. @smh @MariamVeiszadeh

        @MariamVeiszadeh @OZloop hijab is fine, face covering is culturally insensitive and rude in Australia .

        @Uaskt @MariamVeiszadeh It is culturally insensitive for some. That should not be allowed to trump tolerance as it gives an ‘in’ for racism.

        @OZloop @MariamVeiszadeh Australians are ALWAYS expected to be culturally sensitive. I think it's time there was cultural sensitivity to us.
