Britain - Lords to rule on Muslim clothes

You're just going to love this.

THE case of a girl excluded from school for wearing Muslim dress is set to be heard in the House of Lords.

Shabina Begum, 16, won a landmark ruling in March when the appeal court upheld her right to wear the jilbab, which leaves only the hands and eyes exposed. The court ruled that the ban breached human rights.

The school, Denbigh High in Luton, Bedfordshire, has now won leave to take the case to the Lords and the governors are due to decide within the next few days whether to go ahead.

The case could set a precedent for schools and Muslim children across Britain.

The school, where 79% of pupils are Muslim, has argued that the jilbab breaches its uniform policy, which had been agreed with Islamic organisations. Several forms of Muslim dress are allowed but the jilbab is considered too extreme.

Begum, who was represented in the appeal court by Cherie Blair, has been legally aided. The case is estimated to have cost taxpayers more than £100,000 in legal bills.

Begum was excluded when she was 14. She has not returned to Denbigh High since winning her case, but has attended another Luton school.

Luton council said no girl at Denbigh High had asked to wear the jilbab since Begum won her case. Some schools in the town allow girls to wear the jilbab.

In the appeal court hearing, Lord Justice Brooke urged the education department to issue schools with more guidance on how to comply with the Human Rights Act. It has yet to do so.

Begum had been advised by Hizb ut-Tahrir, a radical group which is legal in Britain but banned in Germany and most of the Middle East.

You see? This had nothing to do with this girls human rights and everything to do with Muslim terrorist attempts to convert Britain to an Islamic nation.

Time to take back Britain.
