Well there is already a big debate over this piece of clothing, Muslim teachers demand to be able to wear it as they please, probably only the hard
core ones though.
In this case it was used to escape.
But it is thought staff rarely ask those departing Britain to remove veils in order to make sure their identification is valid.
A BAA Heathrow spokesman told The Times: "Immigration control staff always do a visual check on people coming into the country but only random
checks are made with outgoing passengers."

Now there are several issues here.
One, if we go to Iran or Turkey etc, we HAVE to oblige their cultures, and adhere to them.
Right?
ie, women have to cover up etc.
But come to England, and they fight to keep their culture alive, which to a point is ok, but it annoys me when people demand, to keep certain aspects
of their culture going.
Its more of a political statement i feel, and living in this country they should make some compromise.
In the case of the muslim teacher who got sacked for refuses to take her veil off, it was the complete one, Kids need to see the teacher's mouth, to
help with communication, if you choose to be a Muslim teacher int he UK, you should at least help us understand more, not oppress us with your
demands.
A very touchy subject i know, and living in London all my life, growing up in a multi diverse city, is ok with me, its good we help people from all
round the world and offer a country that probably treats them better than their own country.
But englands culture has gone down the pan, or mis construed for their right wing beliefs, such as the BNP, whom i dislike.
With all this political correctness, we have let a cop killer slip out the country.
