Egypt religion minister bans face veil for some employees

Well Mr. minister, brace yourself as the gates of hell is bound to open in your face:

"I totally reject the appointment of fully veiled women working as counselors meant to guide people in religious matters," minister Hamdy Zaqzuq told the daily Al-Masri Al-Youm newspaper on Monday.

The minister said fully veiled women working as counselors would just promote "the culture of the niqab".
"The niqab is a matter of custom and not the faith -- it has nothing to do with the religion," he added.


Is it just me or anybody else think this country is finally doing something right?
