LETTER TO THE EDITOR


Dear Sir,

As an atheist, I was heartened by the success of the young Muslim girl, Shabina Begum, in her legal action against her former school for their refusal to allow her to wear the jiljab.

People of all faiths should be encouraged to wear such distinctive religious garb so that we can all easily recognise them and show them the respect they are due.

Sincerely,


John Eoin Douglas
