Female students at Leicester's new Islamic secondary school who are not Muslims will have to wear head scarves as part of their uniform.

Madani High School, which will open in September to replace Leicester Islamic Academy, will tell girls to cover their heads regardless of their religion.

The voluntary-aided state school, which is being built in Evington Valley Road and is supported by Leicester City Council, must accept 10 per cent of its 600 pupils from a non-Muslim background

Zainab Elgaziari, the academy's assistant principal, said: "Like any school, we will have a uniform and, in our case, that will include a head scarf.

"When you go to any school, you know what the school uniform will be and the choice is there.

"I can't see why if a student wears a head scarf it should be an issue. It's the same as a shirt or tie - it's just part of our uniform.

Suddenly a Muslim thinks head scarves are "not an issue".

I can't bear to think of an impressionable English girl going to a school with these awful people. Imagine having to spend your school years surrounded by Paki boys who think you're dirt.
