Fighting for the veil

Some women in Egypt are fighting the government’s efforts to have women remove their traditional veils in all-female classrooms. There are arguments for and against. Some women feel that they are dishonoring their Muslim faith by leaving off their niqab, a conservative form of Muslim dress. Proponents of the ban feel that it prevents insurgency by more radical branches of Islam.
