I seem to recall a muslim guy calling into a radio phone in to say that the complete covering of women isn't a religious requirement at all, it's more of a cultural one, and that the Koran simply says that women should dress "modestly" - which obviously leaves it wide open to interpretation.

Personally, I think he's on dodgy ground dictating a dress code to the country, and can't help wondering if there's something in the wind that he'd rather we didn't hear about - that or an election looming as said before!
