    I just feel like we’ve got to accept that we’re not all going to look the same. I find myself a proud Australian, so people need to suck it up.

    Yep.

      It’s curious that there are some men out there who dress in their own black niqab hiding most of their face, not for religious reasons but because they do not want to show who they are and what they supposedly stand for. Then, they march around in a gang of fellow ‘male niqab’ wearers to look intimidating. Some (or many) of these guys are very likely to be the first to throw insults at muslim women for wearing their attire and for belonging to a group they see as ‘strange’. You gotta laugh!
