I'm surprised that the Russians are so tolerant.
I don't give two sh**ts what somebody wears on their head, but there are some places and jobs where having your face covered is a bad idea. If these people feel that a "strange" man must never see their face then they probably shouldn't go to places that require it or do jobs that require it.
And that's what I never can understand about religious fanatics, if letting a dude get into your taxi with his seeing eye dog is some how going to send you to hell, maybe you should look for a line of work where you won't run into blind guys with dogs. If handling pork is a nono, don't work in a butcher or a grocery store. If strangers can't see your face, maybe getting a drivers license is a bad idea.
You don't understand the Muslim mindset. They believe that infidels are inferior to them and should accomodate them, wherever they are, even in the infidels' countries.
