[Khadija... a freelance lecturer in Islamic studies and the Koran... and a Zimbabwean-born British citizen], who has been wearing the full veil - or niqab - for 10 years, has been given the slot.
The message will reflect a year in which the wearing of religious clothing and symbols have "dominated the news agenda", said a Channel 4 spokesman.
...The right to wear the niqab made the headlines earlier this year when the Leader of the House of Commons, Jack Straw, said that it hindered communication.
The niqab - Arabic for "full veil" - means covering up completely, including gloves and a face covering which leaves just a slit for the eyes.
Channel 4's spokesman also said that the controversy has "generated a debate about multiculturalism, secularism and integration - a debate in which British Muslims have played a key role and one that will shape the future of British society".

Britain stood up to fascism in WWII. How is it they do not fight now? Would it be clearer if the muslims wore swastika arm bands, or crescent moon arm bands? Do not let the word "religion", sway you. It is a well-oiled political and military machine with one goal of world domination. In todays pc world, all Hitler would have to do is declare nazi's to be a religion, and he would not have needed tanks. This "religion" wants the west to convert,submit, or die. They do not care which one we choose in this war. They are already probing in America, testing for weakness, and they will use our pc leaders and multicultural leftists, our media, as their clueless puppets. The imams at the airport was just one of many tests to come, endless attempts to gain sympathy and establish acceptance for shariah law. Make no apology, feel no guilt. They are spies and enemy combatants. Their guns will come out after the psychological war is well established. Be resolute, kick them all out NOW. Death to America, is not an empty threat. It is a promise and their political goal.

In fairness(LOL!) they should offer next year's Alternative Address to Nick Griffin, Chairman of the BNP and the man the BBC tried to put behind bars for speech critical of Islam.
