Fashion victim

[avram]

An Italian woman who converted to Islam has been fined €80 (~US$100) for appearing in public with a nikab (a face-covering veil), under a Fascist-era law forbidding the public wearing of masks. She is, of course, damn stylish.

I have to admit, I was reluctantly buying the "possible security threat" angle until I got to this part:

Mr. Monti pointedly excluded events in which Italians often wear some kind of mask, like fans at sporting events and revelers at public festivals like carnival.

Because cleary, no terrorist woult target a sporting event or public festival. Right.
