A woman swathed in black to her ankles, wearing a headscarf or a full chador, walks down a European or North American street, surrounded by other women in halter tops, miniskirts and short shorts. She passes under immense billboards on which other women swoon in sexual ecstasy, cavort in lingerie or simply stretch out languorously, almost fully naked. Could this image be any more iconic of the discomfort the West has with the social mores of Islam, and vice versa?

For some people today, the veil has become a symbol of terrorist tyranny. For many feminists, veiling is synonymous with the oppression of women
A cartoon in the Boston Herald in 2002 showed the Statue of Liberty swathed head-to-toe in a burka. Underneath were the words: “Muslim fanatic terrorists struck at the Statue of Liberty last night”. For some people today, the veil has become a symbol of terrorist tyranny. For many feminists, veiling is synonymous with the oppression of women. What women in Muslim societies need are American liberties, the story goes. If they don't willingly embrace “bikinis and boobs”, they can be bombed into submission.

Headmaster's decision: Schools will still have to decide on whether to ban the full veil
Veils will not be banned in schools, ministers
have decided. Guidelines issued by the Government yesterday state that
heads 'may be justified' in outlawing religious dress that covers
pupils' faces.
But ministers stopped short of issuing an outright ban
on full-face Islamic veils, saying it was up to schools to decide
uniform policy for themselves.
The guidance led to accusations that the Government had only confused the issue and left heads 'walking a tightrope'
