For example, when we would travel to a country which has Islam as the main religion women from England (not muslim for the point of this argument) would be expected to cover up and respect the beliefs of the citizens there, and I can understand every part of that.
What I don't understand is how do some people justify themselves breaking it when they come to a predominantly Christian country. If you have been watching the British news in the past few months you will have heard about the Muslim teacher who refused to remove her facial "mask", (I don't know what to describe it as).
I personally believe it to be rude not to show your face when you talk to someone, and this woman is teaching Christian/Atheist/Nihilist children, who don't understand this, and some of them may be frightened by it.
Rant over. How is it fair that if an English person travels they must respect other countries' beliefs yet it doesn't work two ways?
