More Veil Controversy

Great Britain isn't the only nation facing controversy over the niqab, the full Islamic veil that reveals nothing but a woman's eyes. Agence France Presse reports that women who wear the niqab have been banned from the residence halls of Egypt's Helwan University. The reason? The dean of Helwan, Abdel- Hay Abaid is worried about "individuals who might worm their way in, disguised under a face veil." If a man made it into the women's halls, he said, "their parents would kill me."
