Title: BRITAIN VEIL DISPUTE
Caption: A young Muslim woman waits outside Bangor Street Community Centre where Labour MP for Blackburn and leader of the House of Commons Jack Straw was holding a constituency meeting in Blackburn, England, Saturday Oct. 14, 2006. Muslim leaders in former British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw's constituency still support him, he said Friday, even though he asks Muslim women to unveil their faces when he meets with him. Straw's remarks sparked a fierce debate about the integration of Muslims into British society, and some accused Straw of intolerance. (AP Photo/Dave Thompson)
