Re: Schoolgirl wins dress case
and here's a lil background i was talkin about
Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT), which is legal in Britain but banned in Germany and much of the Middle East, advised Shabina Begum, a 15-year-old orphan. Her case, which was funded by legal aid, was thrown out by the High Court last week.[article]
This was hardly ever bought up throughout the long years this case has gone on.
Khalid Mahmood, Labour MP for Birmingham’s Perry Bar constituency, said: “Most Muslims are happy with the existing dress code. I think they (HuT) are trying to pick a fight. The Home Office needs to look at some of their activities. At the moment they are very close to the edge.”[article]
Denbigh High school was an unlikely target for criticism. Almost 80% of its 1,000 pupils are Muslim, and its dress code, which allows pupils to wear a shalwar kameez (trousers and a long tunic), was introduced with the support of the town’s Council of Mosques.[article]
This is another important point about Muslims being happy about the dress code and why people could not understand why she was so adamant on the issue. Like I mentioned yesterday the shalwar kameez was a suggestion PUT FORWARD by the leaders of all the mosques in the local area.
She was 13 when, in September 2002, she was sent home from Denbigh high school in Luton for wearing a jilbab, an ankle-length dress that leaves only the face and hands visible.[article]
She was only 13...Talk about taking advantage of a vunerable person.
He emphasised that the group had not contributed financially towards the legal action or to her family.[article]
Amazing to say the least, they urge her on to fight the people "oppressing" her but yet do not donate a single PENNY to her cause!

From her "victory" speech you could clearly see they had their hands in the whole dispute. Once more the speech read out was identical to what they often come out with on their leaflets.
Not everythign is black and white.
