Muslim women in Canberra, Australia could face jail time and a stiff fine under a proposed new law. The bill calls for women to lift their veils for identification purposes when requested to do so by police. Opponents say the bill amounts to anti-Muslim bias.
About Faces
Muslim women could be facing jail
If they refuse to lift their veil,
According to a suggested law
That seems to stick in some folks’ craw.
It also carries an additional line
That calls for a rather hefty fine.
Aussie officials say it’s not about race;
It’s all about seeing face to face.
They want to see more than the lady’s eyes,
Just like they can with all the guys.
