002-Veil – Jack Straw and the problem with the Veil

Jack Straw (UK labour politician) has asked Muslim women to uncover their faces when attending his surgery, which has fired up a debate on the issue of the Muslim veil in public. He says the veil hinders communication. I believe it takes away one’s identity. But there is something much deeper that needs to be addressed here. Why are Muslim women asked by Allah to cover their faces, if the problem is really that of their men-folk? How does covering the women up deal with the sin in their men’s hearts?

I see something much deeper that needs to be addressed here. Why do they cover their faces in the first place…
