No Seeing Eye-to-Eye Re the Female Face Mask

The Canadian Islamic Congress posts an op-ed by one Dr. Ahmed Shoker. His conclusion re that niqab contretemps in Quebec:

To Muslims, the current problem isn't so much a conflict between religions or cultures, as much as it points to the lack of seriousness in accepting Islamic traditions and religion-based practices -- such as wearing the niqab.

That's funny, to infidels the current problem isn't so much the lack of seriousness in accepting Islamic traditions and religion-based practices as it is a conflict between religions or cultures. Looks like we're so totally not on the same page here.
