Case by case basis? Canada's a modern,civilized country with an advanced and civilized legal system.In such a system both the defendant and the prosecutor get the opportunity to question witnesses and the jury has the right...responsibility,actually...to pay close attention to all testimony given.Facial expressions can acommunicate just as much,if not more,than can mere words.take away a juror's right to see the face of a witness and you pervert the course of justice.But then,what does the typical moslem know about *true* justice??

Exactly. The jury would have to come back with a not guilty verdict. That is the price of wearing a niqab in court.

A muslim demand for modesty may lead to aquittals for her rapists. Better yet, if a muslim woman is raped and she demands to wear a niqab in court, just dismiss the rape charges immediately.

For that matter, if she demands to wear a niqab in court, does she have four male witnesses that will testify that she was raped? If not, out go the charges. And maybe she will be stoned to death for being a whore. (Getting closer to shariah now...)
