I WOULD like to applaud Dr T Hargey, who is the chairman of the Muslim Educational Centre of Oxford.

Every single thing he stated in his piece about the wrongs of covering one’s face and the use of burqahs (Oxford Mail, August 18) is what people have been saying for years.

Now that an academic from the Muslim Educational Centre has publically stated these facts, how can David Cameron and the rest of the liberal brigade, who don’t want to upset anybody, refuse to take appropriate action?

This would also stop aggressors from every group who go out at weekends all over the country, just to cause trouble to the detriment of our society and the decent people in it.
