2 Kabani (1994) Vanity Fair ignored any of the important debate within Islam about the rights of women. It distorted every sentence I had uttered the whole Western debate about Muslim women is a dishonest one Al-Hejin (2009) BBC News tends to focus on dress (the veil or hijab) or restrictions of women s rights in its reporting of Muslim women, and focuses on stories from only 8 out of 47 countries which have proportions of Muslims.

11 Her fight for the right to wear the veil in class may have divided politicians but there was little support for the teaching assistant Aishah Azmi yesterday among parents at her school in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. Muslims and non-muslims alike challenged Ms Azmi's demands to wear the veil in class. (The Independent, October 17 th, 2006) stroppy, confrontational battleaxe (The News of The World October 22 nd, 2006) Specialist employment lawyers warned last night that the classroom rebel's vow to go to Brussels would mean a taxpayer-funded bonanza for lawyers while the case took years to rumble through the legal system.

13 The Express (November 9 th, 2007) Summary of case 88 word quote from salon owner 14 word quote from Bushra Noah: Bushra, who has been rejected for 25 hairdressing jobs, insisted: Wearing a headscarf is very important in my religion. I could have fitted in.
14 Right after that, the misery began. Khalid tried to control her and force her to wear the hijab, the headscarf worn by devout Muslim women. (The Observer, April 23 rd, 2006) Muslim women are being forced to cover up in a number of countries as part of a political backlash against growing freedoms (The Guardian, October 13 th, 2006) Wearing a headscarf is a symbol of women's subjugation and those apologists, be they Muslims or so-called liberals, who want us to believe that Muslim women are given a choice of wearing the headscarf forget about the very strong sense of tradition coupled with intense intimidation by male relatives. (The Independent, December 30 th, 2003, letters)
15 Insult to men: It seems to me that the real offence conveyed by the wearing of the full veil by Muslim women lies in the implication that no man can look on any woman without being consumed by unholy lust. The Times (August 30 th, 2005) Health: A growing number of Muslim women who wear the head-to-toe veil are being treated for rickets. The Express (October 6 th, 2006)
16 Threatens British way of life: Anyone sincerely wishing to integrate into the British way of life would never wear such an alien and threatening outfit The Express (July 19 th, 2007) A cover for terrorism: This was the moment two armed robbers disguised as Muslim women in burkas were about to pounce.

The Mail on Sunday (July 16 th, 2006) Peter Hitchens
20 Even if hijab-wearing is a genuine choice, does that make it obligatory for us to respect it? Any more than hijab-wearers respect women who wear shamefully little? What we would not ban, we do not have to condone. The Guardian (January 22 nd, 2004) If Muslim women in Lancashire want to use the niqab to veil their faces, that is their right. But their MP is entitled to voice his concern that wearing it restricts his constituents' full participation in British society. The Observer (October 8 th, 2006)
21 It is Labour that allows misguided Muslim women to think it is OK for them to wear a veil at school or, even more ludicrously, in court. (The Sun, July 3 rd, 2007). As we sleepwalk into a New Labour police state, fashion fascist Jack Straw's denunciation of the right of Muslim women to wear the veil is racist and must be challenged. (The Express, October 11 th, 2007, letters.)
22 Negative positions range from accepting the right to wear the veil (but not respecting the wearer) to expressions of mocking hatred and rage. Contradictory discourses in left-leaning press (women s rights?) Veil presented as an issue and not resolved: My week is over. I am confused. I saw my burqa as a prison imposed by the frailties of men. But I also hated the judgmental stares and the hostility. The week was a strange window into a different culture, but I have no answers.
