Denmark Ban: First woman charged for wearing niqab

BBC: The 28-year-old came to the police’s attention when a scuffle broke out between her and another woman at the top of an escalator at a shopping centre north of Copenhagen.

She was fined when she refused to remove the veil.

  1. Why are they allowed to walk into Wells Fargo dressed like that?
    I waited outside until it left the branch.
    Then I voiced my concern to staff. No satisfactory response.
