Diversity in Islam


Damascus, Syria

No veils in school. Syria has become the first Arab country to ban the niqab - a veil that covers the entire face with just a slit for the eyes - from universities. The ban is seen as a move by the secular government to counteract a growing Islamist movement. Higher Education Minister Ghatith Barakat said he made the decision "at the request of a number of parents" who do not want their children to be educated in an "environment of extremism." The ban does not include the hijab, a head scarf that does not cover the face, which is worn by many Syrian women. Belgium has banned the niqab in all public places, citing security concerns, and other European countries are considereing similar legislation.




All truth passes through three stages: 1) it is ridiculed, 2) it is violently opposed and 3) it is accepted as being self-evident.....

If one item of clothing needs to go, it IS the niqab. It covers the woman from head to toe with just slits for her to see through. It's like wearing a blanket over your head! Good riddance to a baaaad idea (hiding not only a woman's beauty, but HER from the sun). :score:



Plus, all this religion in government is disgusting! JMO
