Description
Newspaper clipping titled, "Facing an issue: Is the veil a sign of extremism?" about a fierce debate broken out in Egypt and other Muslim countries over whether the niqab, a cloth covering a woman's face with only a slit for the eyes, is required for modesty or a dangerous sign of political extremism that should be banned. The article, written by Nadia Abou El-Magd, also includes details on the use of head scarves and veils in some Muslim countries.
