Non-Muslim students at Islamic school forced to wear headscarves Female students at a new Islamic school will be made to wear head scarves regardless of their religion, it was revealed yesterday. The Madani High School in Leicester will be required by law to accept 10 per cent of its 600 pupils from a non-Muslim background. But girls who are not Muslim will still have to abide by a rule insisting all female pupils cover their heads as part of the uniform. Assistant principal Zainab Elgaziari said he did not regard the demand as a problem - despite the ongoing row over Muslim women's veils. He said: 'I can't see why if a student wears a head scarf it should be an issue. It's the same as a shirt or tie - it's just part of our uniform. 'We will welcome students of other faiths. Indeed, there will be a quota set down by the Government, and we will abide by these rules. 'When you go to any school you know what the uniform will be. Like any school, we will have one - and in our case it will include a head scarf.' thisislondon.co.uk Link found at en.wikinews.org I think in some ways the quote mentioned by the headmaster might be a bigger deal than the head scarf requirement. "We will welcome students of other faiths. Indeed, there will be a quota set down by the Government, and we will abide by these rules."
