An Australian politician’s call to ban Muslim women from wearing a traditional head-to-knee gown in public because they could be used to conceal weapons has sparked outrage in Australia.
Talk-back radio and newspapers’ letters pages were brimming with accusations of racism yesterday after one of Australia’s most outspoken conservative politicians, the Reverend Fred Nile, suggested a ban on wearing the body-enveloping chador in public.
In New South Wales’ state parliament on Wednesday, Nile said the chador was “a perfect disguise for terrorists as it conceals both weapons and explosives.”
