Ironically, she was

also criticised for not removing her niqab in order to appear on TV. She declared that "it doesn't cancel my mind, thoughts or art". She also asked people not to support her for her insistence on wearing the niqab, and that the whole issue "be kept to one side", for people only to pay attention to her poetry. That is a message all preoccupied with female attire should heed. Hissa, whose name poignantly also means "lesson", seems to have succeeded in doing something many men have not been able to do. She has used entertainment to attack the more insidious elements of the religious clergy, inspiring millions to listen to her message, even though they could not see her face.
