Came across this article today:
Egypt cleric 'to ban full veils'
 The niqab has become increasingly popular among Egypt's Muslim radicals |
Egypt's highest Muslim authority has said he will issue a religious edict against the growing trend for full women's veils, known as the niqab.
Sheikh Mohamed Tantawi, dean of al-Azhar university, called full-face veiling a custom that has nothing to do with the Islamic faith.
Although most Muslim women in Egypt wear the Islamic headscarf, increasing numbers are adopting the niqab as well.
The practice is widely associated with more radical trends of Islam.
The niqab question reportedly arose when Sheikh Tantawi was visiting a girls' school in Cairo at the weekend and asked one of the students to remove her niqab.
The Egyptian newspaper al-Masri al-Yom quoted him expressing surprise at the girl's attire and telling her it was merely a tradition, with no connection to religion or the Koran.
After reading the Sheikh's point, I can't help from recalling this photo called "What's the point"

Hi,I'm behind you!
Ha! I deleted to correct my grammar! Anyway, I just wanted to say that that photo and caption ARE (not IS) priceless!
At last I understand what is "what's the point" mean
Then, I recalling that's why superman wearing his underwear that way.
Then, if we buy very good and expensive underwear, why we don't wear it like superman does?
aiyo yoo .. i dont understand your point la brader.
BTW, although its "what's the point", my point is. Apsal sibok nak buat benda yg tuhan tak suruh. Bukan dapat pahala pun.
