Thread Name: BS: Jack Straw and 'The Veil' controversy
Subject: RE: BS: Jack Straw and 'The Veil' controversy
I believe Mustapha Lemal Bey had the veil problem when he wanted Turkey women to abolish wearing one, back in the 1930s.
He simply decreed that all female sex industry workers (I'm politically correct, here) had to wear a veil at all times.
In about a week hardly a veil was to be seen in the country.
Just an observation.
