The Sun's Muslim journalist, Anila Baig, was allowed to walk through security at Leeds-Bradford airport without removing her niqab veil to show her face. The paper's page one story, illustrated by pictures of Ms Baig with and without veil, points out that she even asked if she should remove her veil but was told it was "fine" not to do so. But, on her return journey from France, she was twice asked to remove her veil by Paris airport officials in order to check her identity. "I did not feel threatened", she writes, "only vastly reassured." (Via The Sun)
