Indeed …

… Civilised society must not draw a veil over the niqab - Telegraph. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

Religious freedom is not and cannot be absolute in a modern civilised society. The Aztecs believed themselves religiously required – genuinely and sincerely, as far as we know – to sacrifice immense numbers of humans to their god. No one would now justify or permit such a practice on the grounds that everyone must be allowed to practise his religion.
If  you move somewhere, it is not the obligation of the people who already live there to accommodate themselves to you. It is your obligation to accommodate yourself to them. If you can't do that, don't move there.
