To hijab, or not to hijab

Sometimes it is difficult to see exactly what the "Arab Spring" countries are thinking when they exhibit behavior like this. The clash of Islamic ideals goes on, with the victims being the innocents.

Tunisia: no to student wearing niqab, hard-liners protest

(ANSAmed) - TUNIS, OCTOBER 7 - The University of Sousse's refusal to admit a girl wearing the niqab to its Literature Faculty has been violently challenged by a group of people who invaded halls and offices on the site, terrorising teachers, students and staff.

This group, were there any identifying marks, tattoos, clothing or headgear which would help identify them?

The news was reported this morning by the TAP agency. Students and professors signed a petition against further episodes of religious intolerance in universities, demanding the ban on the niqab to be upheld and the struggle "against all forms of religious fanaticism".

A few days ago, the Forum of Tunisian university students made a similar appeal after an increasing number of demonstrations of intolerance by Islamic fundamentalists.

Oh wait, there it is.
