Well done Salma!
covering the face is not Islamic thing, never been & will never be
the real issue is not covering the face, but it is the "Hijab" which is covering the hair.
I wonder can I ask girls not to wear mini skirts or deep neck tops. I think it is up to individual to decide what to wear in this country otherwise will not be a free country....

Freedom of choice! Well done Salma! Well said!! Telling people what they can and cannot wear is 'unBritish and intolerant'!
Good job on presenter too for challenging the tory making idiotic points and foolish examples. 'This show would be dull if we covered our faces', fool!
