Wrong Letter box...

2. Has anyone got a link to the whole column he wrote that is generally available?

I've heard of snippets from it, but I don't know how incendiary it actually was (I know, for instance, he said he didn't think burqas or niqabs should be banned).

I don't know how much we need to treat a small section of society's ideas about their religion with kid gloves. Most Muslim women don't cover their faces. I feel that some women are forced into it; I also feel that women who aren't, but want to cover their faces in public, are doing their bit to hinder understanding between people, and are a fair subject for criticism. Even ridicule.

On edit: a combination of the reprinting of it in Gulf News (but which misses out the 'letterbox' bit, presumably because they think that offensive) and a reddit thread (which doesn't seem to give the end of it) seems to get there:
