Niqaab: Its Islamic Ruling and Controversy in the Western world

I got an email on niqaab and thought you guys might want to read it, too. Sorry, Sister Bint Ahmad, for not posting the entire thing up...I'm overseas and they don't allow me to download without charging and I think we've used up the limit for the month. I would have had this up earlier but with moving back and the itnernet going on and off I haven't had much time to update.

Description: When we delve into the issue of Niqaab, its standing within Islaam and whether or not it is an obligation we realise that this in itself is a huge topic and can not be explained (with all its evidences) within the scope of this dissertation. When I wanted to extend this further to Niqaab in the West I realised that in front of me was not an easy matter as one can find a wealth of information on Niqaab, but to actually weigh it up with the problemsMuslims are facing in the West is another matter all together. The recent controversy sparked by Jack Straws comments affected my dissertation greatly as Jack Straws comments came just prior to the completion of my dissertation. Remarkably the debate spurred up much more information than I was able to obtain prior to it; for this reason, to do justice to the topic I found it necessary to add the new information that was available.

Here's the link.
