The impact
Reader comment on item: Niqab Security Outrages at Airports
Submitted by Mansoor (Pakistan), Aug 5, 2010 at 05:53
The stand out situation of respected ladies observing Niqab is putting a positive impact on the minds of many who were facing harassment and undue obstruction from many who have polluted minds. Hijab is the best protection and a good symbol of decency and modesty. Ill minded people are unduly making it an issue tagging it with security.
