I think the first precedent of on this subject came with the Sikh religion being allowed to wear the turban in the police force, in fairness to them they were made to wear crash helmets when riding a motorcycle, hard core bikers were also made to conform to this rule, with one dying in jail as a result of non payment of fines. If rules are made for dress or whatever reason they should be equally applied to all races, creeds and religions.

Theres always someone that wants to be different or non conformist

Just imagine trying to teach deaf/hard of hearing children that may be able to lipread, getting a teacher turning up with a Niqab on her face.
Also how would the pupils know what sex the teacher was?

Muslim countries have changed a lot in the last seventeen years. Try being a woman showing your hair, or wearing cosmetics in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan or Pakistan today, you'll find a totally different mentality.

"I have no regrets. I just obeyed Allah's commandment," he said, adding that Islam did not allow women to hold positions of leadership.

Now that is a worrying statement.

I know this is a bit off topic but ...........children I've spoken to who have been to Pakistan recently say there is much stricter discipline in schools over there.

Has that murderer been arrested?

I bet they still walk a yard at back of the men, women are mere chattels in radical Muslim thinking, this custom of importing husbands from the mother land will make sure this system prevails.

I was discussing the Muslim faith with my 14 year old daughter the other day. If what she says is to be taken as fact, it appears the Muslim faith may suffer a backlash from some of the Muslim women in the very near future.

My daughter said that the Muslim boys in school have recently become even more dedicated to their faith and culture, were as the girls have developed a certain amount of contempt for their faith/culture to the point were they despise their own. She said the Muslim girls are always commenting on how they wish they had been born different. It makes me feel quite sad.
