Excerpt:
Spotting a policewoman carrying out her duties while clad in a burqa or niqab might strike many living in a western democracy as being bizarre. Yet, incredibly, the Toronto Police Service is actually open to the idea of burqa/niqab-clad police officers if such "reasonable accommodation" helps recruit more Muslim policewomen.
You heard that correctly: we're talking Toronto's police service - not Tehran's.
The back story: last fall, I reported that the Toronto Police had quietly altered its uniform requirements to allow Muslim policewomen to wear the hijab.
