"Veil is an imported form of sectarian dress" that's its official definition in Tunisia
Not only that but you have statements from officials like this:
President Zin Al-'Abidin Ben 'Ali: We Must Differentiate Between Foreign Sectarian Dress And Authentic Tunisian Clothing
RCD Party Secretary-General: "If We Agree Today To The Head covering, Tomorrow We Will Accept That Women Will Be Deprived Of Their Right To Work And Their Right To Vote"
Religious Affairs Minister Boubaker Al-Akhzouri: "There Is No Uniform Islamic Clothing… The Substitution Of Foreign Dress For Tunisian Clothing Is A Clear And Open Repudiation Of National Identity"
One can only wonder if any one of the Egyptian officials issued a statement like this what would become of him?
