Syria bans full Islamic face veils at universities

http://www.pakportals.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=12

DAMASCUS, Syria – Syria has forbidden the country’s students and teachers from wearing the niqab — the full Islamic veil that reveals only a woman’s eyes — taking aim at a garment many see as political.

The ban shows a rare point of agreement between Syria’s secular, authoritarian government and the democracies of Europe: Both view the niqab as a potentially destabilizing threat.
“We have given directives to all universities to ban niqab-wearing women from registering,” a government official in Damascus told The Associated Press on Monday.

Ban on Burqa/Burka in Syria? You gotta be kidding me ----- well this ban on Burqa/Burka is absolutely bias and discriminatory.

It is a clear instance of a breach of the Syria’s commitment under international human rights treaties to respect equality and freedom.

Women around the globe must be given unconditional right to choose what to wear and what not to wear.

The country in question should be dealt with extreme harshness and must be penalized heavily for violation of woman’s .

Is this ban a violation of human rights?

^ good move.

Now lets wait and see how people will explain the behavior of Islamic Republic of Syria.

such hypocrites !

Re: Syria bans full Islamic face veils at universities

^ Syrian Arab Republic, not Islamic Republic of Syria.

Its a move that suits Syria's authoritarian regime, and reflects on where the kind of actions Europe has been taking are better suited.

Unsurprising, given the Hama massacre in 1982.

but the circumstances in which the bombardment conducted is quiet justifiable. 1000 - 1500 soldiers were killed in one day, and loud speakers of mosques were calling people for jihad against the government.

it was a tactical decision to control the disease from spreading to other areas. Unlike in Pakistan where gay-talibans & their supporters are given free hand on the name of humanity.

im sure they all feel like mard k bachay now. Chalo khush ho jao u took a woman's naqaab away from her. Pathetic losers.

Not surprising at all. All arab nations have or are on their way to abolish any sign of Islam in general public, back to square one. They're turning it into another secular dajjalic system. Greater Israhell is in the making, for which, the surrounding countries need to bow down to the dajjal.

Thankfully Filisteen has thrown their secular garbage out the window and came back to Islam, just praying Hamas is guided and takes power all over the Filisteen lands. INSHALLAH

Re: Syria bans full Islamic face veils at universities

again, syria can't call itself a democratic nation (if it claims to be one in the first place) by doing this kind of stuff..

when a women force to wear hijab/niqaab/parda by so-called real muslim men, when they need permission to even go out.. then yeh men do feel mard k bachey.

do they feel ?

If I am not mistaken Syria is a secular state ----- but again I could be wrong.

Re: Syria bans full Islamic face veils at universities

^ yeh.. just like Pakistan is Islamic state !

and what about women who want to wear it? why are u banning it for them? no one is forcing these women, they WANT to wear it, and ur not letting them, who's the retard here?

1) I can safely postulate now that you have been absorbing way too much erroneous propaganda by media and the likes lately.

2) Please refrain from making generalized statements against one of the biggest and widely practiced religions in the world yet try to come up with intelligent and rational arguments instead.

3) Now if you can not differentiate between religious obligations and social evils of a said society then ----- I strongly suggest that you should pick up a book or two and start reading.

they want to wear it - exactly in cave world.

if they want to wear it, then please move back to Islamic Republic or Arab republic or Gay republic .. we are not gonna tolerate here.

Sometime i see a loser wearing full-burkha in subway ... she don't even sit on the chair.. even if a guy is sit like 2 feet away..such things, if you are so insecure & YEH.. why even bother to come out of home?

Anyway, Burkha/Niqaab has NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM - IT'S BARBARIAN TRIBAL PRACTICE !

reading Jang/express/Nawaiwaqt/Dawn/Nytimes/Wsj is absorbing propaganda now ? yeh in your world.

First prove that burkha/niqaab is Islamic, from Quran, not by some pyscho-cave-world-mullah.
Then we will talk further.

Come again.
