Lebanon - WOMEN, ADAPT TO HOST COUNTRY'S LAWS OR LEAVE

That's what a Muslim cleric says and more.

Beirut, 18 Oct. (AKI) - A leading Lebanese Muslim cleric, Shaykh Hasan Abdallah, has said that although the Koran does not prescribe the face-veil, or niqab, Musilim women should be allowed to wear it provided it does not contravene the laws of the country where they reside. Abdallah president of the Shiite Ulema was commenting on remarks by Italian prime minister Romano Prodi that Muslim women who wished to intergrate in Italy should not "hide" their faces behind a veil.


Let's outlaw it then.
