When most of the world sees a woman in a niqab, a face veil that covers everything except the eyes, the assumptions are predictable — and harsh.
Recently, in Dubai, a tourist filmed a woman in a niqab eating at a restaurant. The tourist and her friend were treating the woman as if she were entertainment for them, rather than as a person trying to enjoy her dinner. Eventually, when the video clip went viral on social media, the Dubai Police issued a statement that they were investigating the matter.
