  The veil debate is not 'petty'.  It is a much wider issue.  On your philosophy then, the loical conclusion is to never say anything about anything.  I don't remeber any policical party getting elected for saying nothing :confused:     The veil debate is not 'petty'    When the leader of the BNP is in court for calling Islam a wicked vicious faith the veil debate does seem quite petty in comparison!!!! Besides the more muslims wearing it the better!! Might wake up more of the dullards.
