There is no fashion that produces the amount of controversy, violence and hysteria world-wide that the wearing of the veil by Muslim women does. Iranian women flee overseas in order to take the chador off. In Turkey, the veiled wives of government and party officials are not allowed to attend official celebrations. In Algeria, some women are shot by terrorist groups if they refuse to take the veil. In France, Germany, Italy and America a complete month can hardly pass without a media crisis because of Muslim veiled students. In Egypt, it is enough for any pedant to manipulate religion and religious slogans to guide large flocks of people to any direction he wishes.
