Hi Vic,
I think you should ask yourself two questions:
1) If the woman had been a member of some Christian or Jewish sect, and has
made known her displeasure at being photographed, would you have been equally
outraged, more outraged or less outraged?
2) Is it reasonable for you to take a photo of anyone (regardless of gender,
race, creed, political or sexual orientation) who has first made it clear that
they do not wish to be photographed?
Only you know the answer to these questions. Different people have different
views. I suspect my views would be very different from yours.
You might also ask of your Pope what he would think, and what guidance he would
give to a Catholic photographer who would like to take a photo of an unwilling
Muslim woman. No doubt he would quote the views of some spokesman from the
ancient past and then disclaim all responsibility.
