CAIRO, Egypt (CNN) -- There's more to wearing the "niqab" -- the austere, all-covering veil favored by ultra-religious Muslim women -- than meets the eye.
A recent declaration by the leading Egyptian religious authorities that women will not be allowed to wear the niqab (veil) in university areas frequented only by women has sparked demonstrations by female students in Cairo determined to wear the all-encompassing veil wherever they go.
Egypt's Al-Azhar University, recently convened an all-male committee to rule on what women can wear at Egypt's public universities.
Universities started to propose the using of the veil as an option, not obligatory, but the Muslim religion clearly states the using of the niqab (veil) as obligatory always.
Do you think Muslim women should wear the niqab?
