Hijab-wearing robber (male not female) hits Ottawa bank
Ottawa police are investigating a series of bank robberies by a man or men wearing a hijab.

The latest incident, on Thursday afternoon, occurred when a man in the headscarf worn by some Muslim women robbed a bank at Pinecrest Mall in the city's west end.

Const. Katherine Larouche said a man, wearing a dark blue hijab covering his mouth and nose, and a long dark blue robe, handed a Scotiabank teller a note around noon, demanding money.

The suspect fled the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash. No weapon was seen and there were no injuries.

This is the 4th such robbery in Ottawa and will probably spur misguided anti-hijab sentiment. BTW, the hijab is the headscarf; the burqa is the full-body cover, for those who get confused; it's the burqa that got banned in some European countries.
