Apparently the UK isn't the only country where there is discussion about the veil.
Fierce Debate over Veils in Egypt
| Quote: |
The debate is most intense in Egypt, the world's largest Arab country, where one university two weeks ago banned women who wear the face veil, or niqab, from living in a hostel, and government-backed newspapers have launched a campaign against it.
"The niqab vogue: an imported innovation, used by the political extremists," read a recent banner on the pro-government Al Mussawar Weekly. "Our new battle is against the niqab," added Mohammed Fatouh, a specialist on Islamic issues in another government-owned weekly, Rose el-Youssef.
Salama Ahmed Salama, a columnist in Egypt's biggest government daily, Al-Ahram, was more blunt: "It expresses an extremist attitude ... Wearing the niqab is as outrageous as wearing a bathing suit or pajamas to the office." |
I thought all those Muslims were the same. aren't they all hardcore fans of veils? |

I would say that the moderate countries are gradually becoming more extreme, as Islam gears up for its final push to world domination. |

Its final push? Let's see. China has 25% of the world's people, and will throw you into the bamboo gulag if you so much as utter the words "Islam should dominate the world" into a loudspeaker. In Iraq, supposedly the focal point of the clash of civilizations, Muslims are too busy murdering each other by the dozens on a daily basis to kill more than a handful of zionist-crusaders a week. Over in Turkey, a Muslim country if ever, the Islamoholics can't even convince the government to allow veiled women into university gates, let along force the rest of the world into the burqa. Yeah, some revolution. |

Politically, yes. But it is definitely majority Muslim, and fairly conservative in some areas to boot. So if political Islamicists can't force their agenda onto the table over there, I hardly see how they can be on the verge of a worldwide revolution. |

From what I've read recently, 70% of attacks in Iraq are still focused on occupying forces. Even if its not quite as high as that, its interesting that this is not focused on by the Western press. |
