TO VIEL OR NOT TO VEIL

British Muslim support teacher Aishah Azmi has been suspended for refusing to work unveiled. The suspension is under review. Ms Azmi offered this justification for hiding her face:
"The veil is really important to all Muslim women who choose to wear it. Our religion compels us to wear it because it's in the Koran."
If the Koran compels Muslim women to wear a veil how is that many choose not to?

Update: In other religion related job suspension news:
BRITISH Airways has suspended a Christian woman who wears a necklace with a crucifix to work, even though it allows Muslims and Sikhs to wear headscarves and turbans, a newspaper reported overnight.

What we should all be doing is joining a religion which encourages us to submit our genitals to old men too lazy to get married and bring up kids of their own. Then we could worship a "god" who has to commit suicide just to forgive sins.
