The niqab is sexist.
Only women wear the niqab.
Men do not wear the niqab. Why?
Are they not required to dress modestly as their mothers, sisters and wives?

Note to file: In 2009, Grand Sheik of Al-Azhar, Mohammed Sayyed Tantawi, declared the niqab has nothing to do with Islam and is a sign of radicalism.  At Al Azhar University, the highest religious authority in Sunny Islam, the niqab is banned in its classrooms and dormitories.
