Yes you're right Sharon - there is no mention of what religion the student
belongs to thus, this discussion should not get anti-islamic - or am I
missing the point?!

I think the idea is that they should not knowingly allow photographs,
recordings,images of themselves to be produced. There may well be
exceptions, such as passports, but the fewer the better if you believe this
affects your soul.
Is this discussion getting a bit anti Islamic? If it is your belief that
these activities affect your soul who are we to question that? Aren't there
laws on the way to protect religious intolerance? Disabled people (of which
I am one) are not the only ones protected by the law or the only ones who
have very real needs.
Back to the original point I think Mark Wakehams solution was a reasonable
adjustment all round.

How does this student square the ubiquitous security cameras? Presumably they
don't have a passport (with photograph)???
