BBC VIDEO: MORE WOMEN IN PAKISTAN WEARING NIQABS... I WONDER WHY???


Most women in In Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province have always kept their hair covered in public. 
But increasingly many of them, especially young girls, can be seen wearing the niqab or full-face veil. 
In this mainly conservative region, social pressure is often cited as the force behind the trend, but some women insist it is their own choice. 
There is also a view that current fashion trends could be playing a role.
THE LEFT WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE IT'S A CHOICE. YEAH, SURE: BEING A SLAVE OR TREATED LIKE CHATTEL IS A CHOICE!

    "Religion does not require women to veil their hands, feet and faces or enjoin any special type of veil. Tribal custom must not impose itself on the free will of the individual."

    Amanullah Khan - King of Afghanistan (1919-1929).

    The Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, head of Al-Azhar, the highest seat of learning in the Sunni world.“The niqab is a tradition and has nothing to do with Islam,” said Sheikh Tantawi, vowing to ban it in Al-Azhar schools.After the girl complied he insisted she should not wear it any more.“I tell you again that the niqab has nothing to do with Islam and it is only a mere custom. I understand the religion better than you and your parents.” The Grand Imam of Al-Azhar imam vowed to issue a ban against the face-veil in all schools linked to Al-Azhar.“
