| British Teaching Assistant Loses Hiqab Appeal - Gets Sacked |
| 2007-03-31 |
| Muslim teaching assistant Aishah Azmi has lost her appeal against an employment tribunal's decision that not being allowed to wear a full veil at work was discrimination. Aishah Azmi, 24, was suspended on full pay after staff at Headfield Church of England junior school in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, said pupils found it harder to understand her. A Leeds employment tribunal dismissed three of Mrs Azmi's claims of discrimination and harassment, but found that she was victimised and awarded her £1,000 for "injury to feelings". A month later, the local education authority sacked her from her post as a bilingual support worker. |

| #5 Suspended on full pay? And here I am, working 60 hours/week like a chump. Maybe we should all pull the veil stunt and see if we can't get a free ride for whining too. |

| #4 Slingshot the little fuckwit back to whatever utopic Muslim cesspit she came from. She can wear her niqab all she wants there. In fact, she'll get the crap beaten out of her if she doesn't. |

| #2 Aside from their dehumanizing aspect, niqabs also present a security risk. They should be banned in ALL Western nations. |
