This is an article on counterpunch.org regarding the controversy of the teacher who was dismissed because she refused to take off her niqab in the classroom. I disagree of course with the article but I also like to listen and challenge my opinions and this article does just that. There is however a paragraph quoting a book from Fatima Mernissi which sets the record straight on where the Prophet was standing when it came to the veil. It'll undoubtedly unfuriates some, but a fact is fact. I hope you'll find the reading instructive.http://counterpunch.org/khan10302006.html//en.yabiladi.com/topics/veil-british-male-elite-44-1476601-1476601.html#msg-1476601 Fri, 05 Jun 2026 00:43:51 +0200 Phorum 5.2.15
