.@MoAnsar This is absolute nonsense. There is no such thing as a 'no hijab policy' at the BBC. I work in front of the camera and have NEVER

.@MoAnsar EVER come across any opposition to my hijab. In fact its not even a thing. In all honesty the BBC encourages me to be the crazy…

.@MoAnsar individual i am…so this is not true at all

Other Muslim women agreed:
This is ridiculous. I know so many Muslim women who work at the BBC and wear the Hijab – including @SabbiyahPervez https://t.co/syaHCnz0Gx

Ms. Pervez proceeded to tear Mr. Ansar into little shreds:
I have just read the most ridiculous piece by @MoAnsar claiming the BBC has a no hijab policy. THIS IS NOT TRUE

To be brutally honest, reading @MoAnsar piece is a slap in the face because i work hard to be seen for not who I am but what i am capable of

Mo’s sexist response was to tell her to ‘stop shouting’
@SabbiyahPervez If you read it you'll know these were been given to staff. Some you know. Ask about the substance of my piece. Don't shout.

Her response was epic:
.@MoAnsar don't patronise me. There is a distinct difference between you saying something & there being evidence for it. Publish the emails
— Sabbiyah Pervez (@SabbiyahPervez) May 18, 2016
others ridiculed him, Muslim….
@SabbiyahPervez wow that blog is all about him

and of course, the professional gets the last word over the Twitter troll:
My final comment:
My hijab has never been an issue, it will never be an issue. You, @MoAnsar, made an issue out of it. Consider that— Sabbiyah Pervez (@SabbiyahPervez) May 18, 2016
