Last week, we aired this interview with Sooraya Graham.

The visual arts student at Thompson Rivers University photographed her Muslim friend folding her laundry -- specifically, folding a bra -- while wearing a niqab.

After that interview aired, we were contacted by Trad Bahabri, president of the Saudi Education Centre in Kamloops.

The Centre is funded by the Saudi Arabian government and provides support to Saudi students and their families.

Daybreak host Chris Walker began the interview by asking Mr. Bahabri his opinion of the photograph.
