The young girl has done well but remember UK and USA are not interested in your religion

Having heard Begum speak, and being a former teenager myself, i feel she is just another teenager pushing at the limits.

Shabina's obstinacy and not the the school is to blame. She can go to a Muslim school if she likes. Who does she think she is?
Anon

She should go to a Muslim school if she is serious about Islam
Herbert

I think that Shabina is a very brave girl to do that, I am a Muslim and I don't think I would have done that. And as for schools that's just pathetic ... other religions get to practice their religion but what difference does it make what you wear its the person inside. Well done Shabina.

I think if Islam accepted western civilization completely it would die a natural death and that is why they fight so hard to protect it.

Shabina should go to a school that allows her to wear what she wants so she can hide her figure otherwise she is getting special treatment.
Lumbeta, Lusaka

I think that the court ruling was wrong because if a Muslim is wearing some kind of traditional clothing then let them. I don't see the difference between a nun that can be covered from head to toe in order to devote herself to God but when a Muslim does the same she is oppressed.
Hifza, 16 year old Muslim

I think the school was right to win in the court of law. Why do Muslims always want to be treated in a special way?

She was wrong to wear a religous dress, because the schools have policies.
Ignasio, Blantyre, Malawi

The French have the right idea. Religion and schools should not mix.
Neko, Newcastle

Allowing other clothing undermines the uniform policy. It's bearer has to be in uniform. Uniforms are one means of enforcing discipline. The girl was principled but she wouldn't comply with the school's uniform policy.

We put your calls to James Yee, he answered your questions on the conditions the prisoners lived in and his own story of how he was accussed of espionage by the US Army. Here are some of your questions:

Can you tell us about, what I imagine to be, the immense inner strength these prisoners at Guantanamo must have had to continue to struggle against the 'coalition?'
Abdul, UK

James' story would make a very good film. Has he already sold the rights to any of the Hollywood studios?
Timothy, Kenya

9/11 was done in name of Islam. Same for London, Madrid and other attacks. Won't it be diffcult not to be suspcious of the religion and its followers?
Lyasele, Nigeria

Protection of civilians -yes, interrogation - yes but is it fair to be done on a foreign land, and without a charge?
Dr Jamil

We also spoke to Julian Pain from 'Reporters without Borders' following the arrest of the Chinese film maker Hao Wu, a Chinese blogger we spoke to on the show. Julian told us Hao was arrested in Bejing for making a documentary and hasn't been heard from since.
