Utter Fact.

I think thats fair enough. Muslim women should be allowed to wear the Hijab, but this goes too far. Again, if people are allowed to wear a Burka, she could send a genious with a Burka to take exams for her. NO one would know, so really, its logical. There is always online to get diplomas these days. Even in the US. SO if she wants, she could do that.
And in most Muslim traditions, only the Hijab is required, which covers everything, but your face is completely visible.

And OP, you show your ignorance as usual, because most women in Saudi Arabia, dress like this:


SO your last statement, is just that: Ignorant.

Not really in this case. How can you tell, its her taking the exam? Does she not have to get her photo ID taken?
And once again, its not a requirement to cover your face in Islam, so she cant use the religious argument, only her tradition.

HEre's a pic, of women during Hajj, in Mecca, which is the holiest place in Islam:



As you can see, women dont cover their face, and that goes for you too Arista, you can stick to your ignorant statements, but it just gives you less and less credibility.

so you think people should be allowed to wear whatever they like?

so do you think i should be allowed to walk in a bank with a balaclava on?

do you think nudist's should be allowed to wear what they want and be naked in front of children?

Well said.

If there are rules, stick to them.

And her religion doesnt even 'require' her to wear that anyway. Its what she 'wants' to wear. So I want to go to college in my underwear...am I allowed? No...

Im sure the college would have had no problem with her wearing one that showed her face, but obviously the one in the main picture cant be allowed...I mean seriously...she could easily send anyone else in to sit her exams for her or go to lessons for her etc.

I stand by this
This England Not Saudi.

That is a Strict Muslim Nation that has many women with faces covered.

[Wildcat!]

You are really clueless arent you? I use to joke about it, but its actually true. LOL

Hey Dumbass
I know that is Saudi.


But As I said it is a Strict Muslim Nation
Most women are Covered.


No need for Name calling
try to be Civil.

Good well done to the college

[Enid]

Okay, sure they should have not made her remove the veil but education > religion/culture

[Dr.Gonzo]

Ninjas

'It is my choice to wear the veil'

It is the college's choice to tell you to fu** off.

[Patrick]

Think of it this way,

If we went to school in our Uniform, but we wanted to wear Jeans,
Thats tough!

We arent allowed and if we did we would be throwen out of the school!

So why should it be diffrent with this bitch?

Serves her right for thinking she can do what she wants

Yup. What's to stop her hiding someone else in there at exam time?

I can see why the college refused her, you can't wear hoodies or any clothes that obscure the face in most public places so regardless of religion they couldn't allow it because it would have been hypocritical.

Good Points Dezzy.

This Exactly

[setanta]

It's just a question of common sense really with regard to this girl, but what I find very interesting is how Arista will seize upon every opportunity available to him to further his cause in condemning other races or ethnic groups.
