Roswitha Al Hussein is the spokeswoman of the female Muslim club called "SOMM". She said that the case of the Muslim schoolgirl in Styria is extraordinary savage, but also psychological violations, which Muslim women in Austria has to accept day by day, are also quite bad.
"Teachers think that such things are just a dalliance but it's bullying", said Mrs Al Hussein. The spokeswoman claims that there is not enough support for Muslim schoogirls from teachers. "Sometimes nasty boys pull on the headscarfs of the girls, and tell them that they should remove it", said Al Hussein.
