Rushdie: Muslim Veils 'Suck' Tuesday October 10, 03:56 PM

Author Salman Rushdie has risked angering Muslims once again after saying face veils for women "suck". The writer - once the subject of a fatwa by Ayatollah Khomeni over his novel The Satanic Verses - said he regarded the veil as a way of taking power away from women.

He backed Leader of the Commons Jack Straw, who provoked a furious response last week when he urged Muslim women to abandon the veil.

"He was expressing an important opinion which is that veils suck - which they do," Mr

Rushdie told Radio 4's Today programme.

"Speaking as somebody with three sisters and a very largely female Muslim family, there is not a single woman I know in my family or in their friends who would have accepted the wearing of a veil.
