Agreed - but the point I was making (and my apologies if I wasn't clear about it) was that the story in reality was - Woman in Australia who wears burqa is asked to remove veil when she is giving evidence, and she says "Yes". Which really, when you think about it, isn't much of a story (except showing a Muslim woman in a positive light by highlighting the fact she was willing to remove her veil in court when requested).

The Mail "forgot" to report the bit about "she says "Yes"", hoping (imho) to arouse resentment about those different from us who refuse to follow "our rules", even though she was folowing "our rules" om this case; they (the Daily Mail) just didn't think telling all of the story (or as we call it, the truth) was important.
