Jukuy HIGHLY FALLACIOUS: "UZ says...The wearing of niqab is being banned “not only because of the inconveniences it caused but more so on the matter of security, health and maintenance of academic excellence in our program offerings,” it said..."

Is this conclusive? A UZ alumna AISA HUSIN is a niqaabi who graduated only this year 2012 and her academic performance is not mediocre at all! An old student ALIYA JAMERI who is enrolled this year is a student who belongs to the top student list of her batch!  HIGHLY CONTENTIOUS: “It has been observed that the wearing of niqab has created added burden in our security protocol as these students refused to abide by the guidelines,” the statement said.  COMMENT:  One: "THESE STUDENTS" how many niqaabis are t
