Muslim cook on The One Show.

currently being rammed down our throats as an example of the integrated!!??

You don't have to be non-Moslem in order to be able to knock up a good meal. In fact, there are those who really enjoy traditional foreign food.

I wonder what would happen to her if she left the so called religion??

There are all kinds of restrictions on what you can and can't wear in British society. You have to take account of them every time you walk out of the door. To pretend otherwise is absurd.
In France, incidentally, this woman would be unable to engage in any number of activities dressed likewise, such as accompanying her children on school outings.
The French have taken the view that you've got to nip this kind of nonsense in the bud. The British have decided that anything goes. 5 or 10 years from now, you can easily imagine a contestant wearing a niqab. Is that what the British really want? Because that is where it's heading and this young lady is part of the advance guard, testing the water. And what message is she sending to other women who do not wear the veil? I am pure. I protect my modesty. I am not like you for you are impure. We are different and I am superior. Is that a healthy message for a cohesive society? The French are right.

thought that summed it up (from the gruniad)

You do sum it up well mobo,when I first went to Saudi in 1981 many of their women were happy to uncover their faces but this has tightened up as the nutters imposed stricter values in public life.It has been a fashion statement within Islam to emphasise their assumed superiority and the liberal left in Europe are failing to understand the trend.

Treetop
Apart from some general veil wearing, in one desert area(where the women weren't even allowed out!!!)  I had never encountered this general obsession with covering up.  Of course in some areas everyone covers up to protect against the elements.
It is fkn  cold at night!
Some tribes most certainly keep their women out of the site of strangers and even a bare arm is seen, culturally, as bad form.
It is anathema to some sheiks to see women baring themselves on television.  Totally against their culture.  We are hundreds of years apart there for starters. 
Yet.  You will hardly ever encounter better manners and friendliness in their own environment. Respect their culture and they will welcome you to their bosom so to speak.
My experiences are limited to Malaysia, Iran, Yemen and the desert kingdoms  UAE etc, if I can call them that.

Treetop. Perhaps that's because we know that their 'assumed superiority' is, in fact, wrong.
Please don't bring women's fashion trends in as a political or religious guideline. Gok Wan will be gushing all over them!

Well the thought of Gok Wan gushing has put me right off dinner.

Just back from Paris and place is just as bad as London. Police petrified of enforcing niqab law for fear of being called racist.  Saw numerous women on champs élysées with full garb (eyes only) one even had Louis Vuitton head garb

Football club taken over, their greatest horse race now has Qatari national colours......place is a joke

The Enrichment of France...

surprised to see you on here, alun2005!

Couldn't eat a whole one

Who would ave thought that a woman covering her head on a cookery programme would have this sort of impact on chit chat..........only anyone who's visited in the last few years

I'm actually starting to feel sorry for them there lives are dominated by thoughts of Islam....job done for the fundamentalists.

just wait to they knock on your door, thin, and they ask you to convert.

You see, they let her win because she was the only one with some proper gear on her bonce.

Absolutely no bias from the BBC by the way - apart from that.

I tried to get a bet on her winning - NO OFFERS

wonder what would have happened if the task was to cook some sausage rolls
