Re: Joint statement about the veil from Muslim groups, scholars and leaders
In this month we should also not stop from poiting rigth from wrong. HT is wrong on many counts as I have pointed out before. My point is extremely relevent to this thread because in my view HT has no place in a list of muslim groups paking a joint statement, because it takes away from the statement.
As far as what I disagree with this statement is that they should have clarified the differences between obligatory, recommended or praiseworthy and what the impact of these is on a person following the faith.
whether or not I personally like the niqab or feel its a part of religion has nothign to do with this. I am in full favour of women wesring it if they choose o as long as it is not creating a hazard or impacting the work that they need to do, and as long as they will take it off for identification and security checkpoints.
Having HT sign on that letter just reduces the value of it to me. That group has been against everyone else in its rabid pursuit.
I dont have a problem with a group of scholars and organizations speaking on the behalf of muslims of UK, I just do not want HT to be one of them. We are giving this group of idiots legitimacy by including them on this pirce of paper.
clearly someone was not thinking.
