BBC's Idiots Guide to Hijab

Sister, are you the Amira, Burkha, Shayla, Khimar or Chador? Which one are you? In fact, does anyone really care?

Whichever one you prefer, the BBC have chosen to spend the well deserved license fee that they pocket to 'educate and inform' the wider community about the headscarf and it's many forms. Presumably, this is the BBC’s token gesture at attempting to meet their Integration and Diversity policy. Nice try guys.

This is the same BBC who is entirely responsible for perpetuating ignorant misconceptions and stereotypes pertaining to the Muslim community and Islam.

The BBC is a public service broadcaster and yet their half hearted, pick and mix policy of addressing urgent 'Muslim' issues is only serving to increase the confusion rather than dispel it. We do hope they will complete their tick box exercise and educate us about the skullcap and turban.

I mean it doesn’t really matter if in the process of that concern Muslims are demonised does it? Just look at the recent proposed banning of the niqab , we find ourselves yet again in the maze of oppression the chapter has opened a new era of movement for the sisters in particular, it was not long ago when Jack Straw threatened to possibly ban the niqab because it made him feel so "uncomfortable!"

The United Kingdom, proud of its string of colonist achievements, has flaws and funnily enough the flaws affiliate with Islam.

The likes of Mr British BNP Griffin will jump on the bandwagon and probably will exploit the issue as much as possible, and only then expect the Muslims to rise and defend.

Too Muslim too strong is probably a comment I’ve heard a million times. My hijab without a BBC label will stay safely, securely on my British head. And as ever our Government and media will continue to divide and rule in its land of power and glory.
