>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?
First consideration: christian people and (most) Jewish (women) cannot be recognized as such. While spotting a muslim woman isn't that hard. That's of course a difference, because when a non-muslim person objects to take a picture, I wouldn't be able to link it to religion. So at first, I think I'd be a bit more puzzled and not able to form an opinion on his/her behaviour. But if I would know the background, my ennoyance (is different to outrage) would be as big, I expect. >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? I respect people not wanting the be on photographs, and I didn't take the picture of the women. So answer to 2): no (but still, I'm a bit ennoyed by the further circumstances).
