No I'm not, I just didn't think there were muslims in India what with the conflicts.
Keeping to the case of the teaching assistant:
"But Ms Azmi later admitted she had taken the veil off to be interviewed for the job by a male governor."
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6053298.stm)
That says it all to me. She got the job under false pretences, and started bleating racism when she was 'uncovered'.

Case closed sack the hypocrite!!!
If you commit yourself to living in another country you have to do your best to fit in. Harder for old people though I think.
As is said somewhere else, and has been said here, there is no need for Muslim women to veil at all. I've lived in Muslim countries and worked with teachers, and doctors and dentists and civil servants and shopkeepers - you name it. None of them veiled. No need. In fact the only masked women I saw were the bedu in the desert.
Out of school she can do as she likes of course. I have to look at some pretty sinister and spooky types on the street every day, and I wouldn't want them teaching my kids. These people have pierced and tattood themselves to deformity to demonstrate conformity with some sub-group of their own, and it isn't illegal. I think they're nuts, but it's a free? country so I have to live with it.
I would hope she is trying to make some sort of political point - but it's backfiring. Now we have someone with a cross round her neck being disciplined as well. This is becoming very silly indeed, and we all seem to be getting paranoid.
Disestablish the C of E and make all religious dispaly in public illegal. I am sick of all B....y religion!!!
Anyway. Kids do need to see faces. We convey as much meaning by expression as by words and, as has been said, hard of hearing kids need all the help they can get.

Faceism! ban him!!!
I wouldn't want an extremist of any kind (religion or otherwise) in a position of teaching children. Fair enough if people can put their views to one side enough to give children a balanced outlook, but where they can't then these views may come out in other, more sinister ways.Dobby said:why would you not want these people to teach your kids?

people with piercings/tattoos are not extremists
Thats generalising a whole group of people
At least if people with tattoos/piercings talk you can see their faces and hear what they're saying
I know who i'd rather have my children taught by
Huh? I thought we were on about Muslim women wearing veils? That's what I was on about and what I thought you wqere on about in my quote.Dobby said:
