Imperial College, London have banned niqab:
The dress code states that “employees and students should refrain from wearing clothing which obscures the face such as a full or half veil”. Muslim women, who observe the niqab, believe it to be a significant element of their religious identity, and do so as they believe it to be their religious obligation. By banning the niqab, this dress code policy is a direct infringement on freedom of religion afforded under British and European law.
Furthermore, since the beginning of this term, Muslim student and staff have had previous provisions for Friday congregational prayers taken away, without alternative permanent provisions being provided. This is unacceptable. We will not stand by and allow for basic rights to be denied to Muslim students.

it is sometimes hard to keep perspective on this type of thing. particularly when the media thing is going on strong. there are always reasons. some valid and some just convenient.
it is a really useful exercise to switch off for a week or two, just listen to the radio for a brief overview of the headlines once a day, and then see how the world looks, and how the rest of society looks talking about the world.
humans are humans at the end of the day... and that can mean an awful lot of things.lol.
