A controversy surrounding a Niqabi woman appearing in court has resulted in a judge determining she must remove her face veil, but can do so away from public sight. This compromise has resulted in a multitude of voices both praising and condemning the decision and a new national debate has begun over the possibility of banning the veil in certain circumstances. Joining host John Rees in the first part to discuss the implications of this were Shelina Janmohamed, author of 'Love in head scarf', Aina Khan, Head of Islamic & Asian division, Duncan Lewis Solicitors ahnd Makbool Javaid, International Human Rights Lawyer.
