Controversy In Italy Over Museum's Exclusion of Veiled Muslim Woman

In Italy, controversy has broken out over the decision by a museum guard to deny admission to a Muslim woman who was wearing a niqab that left only her eyes visible. Friday's London Times reports that a guard at Venice's Ca Rezzonico invoked security regulations, and politicians have weighed in on both sides of the dispute. However the security firm involved says that in the future, all Venice museums will set aside a private room where female guards can check the identity of veiled Muslim women.
