#1 "Police could not find any clue about the women's identity because their faces were covered."

Do the police know there are women under the burqas or just assuming they're not male?

"But the move has angered a section of India's Muslim community..."

There's a shocker.

"...the attempt to profile customers on the basis of their attire is an attack on their freedom of religion."

No, it's not an attack on muzzie religion. It's an attempt to fend off attacks on personal property from theives posing as muslims or who are, in fact, muslim.

I suppose the muzzie community would still be angered if the store owner were to allow only one burqa clad beauty in the store at a time. That'd be like...profiling you know.

Not too far from my office there's a "Quickie Mart" run by a couple guys named Abdul and Mo. I wonder how they'd feel if a half dozen guys came into their store from the Church of the Black Ski Mask of the Holy Grail? The security cameras Abdul and Mo have set up won't do much good in terms of identifying anyone by face. Hmmm...
