For more than a year now, this article has contained the phrasing

which is certainly not NPOV. I have edited it. 168.12.253.82 20:16, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I removed "Some prostitutes in Islamic countries also use niqāb as a way of hiding their identity when they come or go to their job" because of a lack of citation. I searched for niqab and prostitute online and couldn't find any sources to support this. The Radio Star 21:06, 19 July 2006 (UTC) -Alright, I found a source, so I re-entered it with a citation.
