An Ottawa bus driver is "overwhelmed" by the thanks and praise he's receiving online for coming to the defence of a student wearing a niqab after another passenger yelled Islamophobic taunts at her.
Islamaphobia is a bulshit term. As soon as somebody uses it you know they're talking bullshit.
Perhaps a hijab can be written off as fashion of the culture. You might even be able to write it off as a demand of religion, but a niqab is something different.
It's an unnecessary costume purposed to flag an anti-west sentiment.
You can wear your Che Guevara shirt, but if somebody objects to it you should be ready to attempt to defeat the critique with reason or live with it.
People are fighting back. Get used to it.
Yep, it's a good thing the bus driver stood up to the intolerant asshole. People are fighting back.

Which is why your allies don't trust you.
Me or you?
