Tantawi calls for a ban on niqab

A country where an Autocratic, authoritarian despot rules with iron hands last 30 plus years is not criticised here that really amuses me.

I wonder what the starter of this thread thinks about Husni Mubarak and his reign of last 30 years whilst his sun waiting to switch the seat!!?? Do you justify his rule?

Even Al Azhar University is dictated by Mubarak and his cronies so whatever comes out of Al Azar i do not take serious. Egypt is second or third receiver of US aid so no wonder that Egyps is a puppy of USA for last 30 years and will do everything to please his masters.

Again think o you simple souls. What are ur objectives??? U want to empower the women or not? I am also not pro Niqaab i think its not obligatory in Islam but many think otherwise and as long as they don’t HURT anybody who the hell are u or me to tell then not to wear niqaab!!!

Yeah, Muslims do care abotu empowering women. That’s why in Muslim countries women continue to be relegated to second-class citizens. After all, wasn’t a female Pakistani MP shot by a fanatic because she didn’t wear a niqab in February 07? Where was the outrage by the niqab supporters? Oh wait, they were cheering the murder of the woman, I forgot.
