AlJazeera English - January 03, 2010 - A court in Egypt has ruled in favour of the government's decision to ban students from wearing the face veil (niqab) while taking university examinations.
But female students who had appealed the ban when it was originally imposed by the government last October have vowed to appeal the verdict.
The students said the ban on niqab infringed on their religious rights.
European and (especially) Muslim countries claim to be democratic when their actions clearly show they are nothing close to it. They all worship USA and want to be like it yet they can't understand that in the USA there is freedom of religion and people have freedom in how they choose to practice their religion.
This is the legacy tantawi decided to leave behind from his days at al-azhar and for which he will be remembered above all else...
