...confrontational. i think the english reserve causes most people to bite their tongue and not say anything, which might be why the wearers feel they can proceed as they like.
what i find myself doing is staring straight past them, which they can pick up on...but why should i avert my gaze? i suppose more agressive types will give them an evil stare, and force them to avert their gaze, but i dont want to do this: i am not objecting to them as a person- all i want to convey is that i find their hiding of the face to be objectionable and offensive to my culture.
is this a case where openness is the best policy, and i should say what i feel to their face...and hang the consequences, maybe i could write a short sentence on a piece of paper and hand one to each person i come across..or should i complain to the people in charge of the local mosque?
what other options can people suggest to make these people aware of the offence they are causing me, without resorting to any form of viole
