Be more specific: Hijab with uniform or without?

MOD regs state (see above link):

Hijabs.
Muslim females may wear Hijabs of the approved pattern and
colour under their uniform headdress except when operational,
training or health and safety considerations dictate otherwise.
It is worn without cap badge under the hat outdoors and without
hat indoors. The hijab is to be worn in such a way that rank slides are visible at all times.

Racist+ un-patriotic
