Have your views about Muslim veils changed over the past few weeks?
The debate over women wearing full-face veils could lead to race riots, the head of the Commission for Racial Equality has warned.

The case of a Muslim teaching assistant suspended for wearing a full-face veil fuelled the debate, originally sparked when Commons leader Jack Straw said he asked Muslim women to remove veils when they visited his constituency office.
