Syria bans the Burka

London Muslim is no fan of the Niqab as I've made clear on numerous occasions however, I'm also no fan on banning things.

With banning the Niqab all the rage in Europe thanks to France and now moving on to Italy and Spain imagine my surprise when I learn that Syria has decided to ban the Niqab for teachers and even worse suspend them for wearing the veil.

Surely with a bit of common sense prevailing the authorities in Syria could have reached a more amicable solution because I do understand the difficulty caused from kids failing to see a teacher and understand the emotions that usually arise through facial expressions.

One can predict that as the treatment of woman in Saudi specifically the ban on women driving (which is wrong) will always be quoted when Islamophobes need an example to criticise Islam, in future all those in favour of banning the Niqab in Europe will now use this Syrian example.

  2. You muslims make me want to throw up when you use the term "Islamophobes"...

    Theres plenty to be terrified of with Islam, Islamophobia is a rational response to a murdering cult of religious fanatics.

    Muslims are murdering all over the world and the sooner we ban this vile cult of death the better.

  3. Dear Anonymous,

    What is all happenig in this world is the result of continuous attacks against Islam & Muslims since centuries and particularly on the rise from world war II. This is all because of the US & UK hegemonistic policies to rule the world and supporting Zionist Israel against Islam. These f....'ng countries first sow the seeds of destabilization either by crippling sanctions or by instigating the neighbouring country by any means and start destruction in that prospering country. A few examples are...Nicaragua, Gautemala, Laos, Vietnam, Grenada, Elsalvador, Lebanon, Libya, Congo, Cuba, Cambodia, Japan, Bosnia, Panama, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait & now Afghanistan & Pakistan. The wanton destruction of towns, cities and villages” is a
    war crime of long standing, the bombing of cities from airplanes goes not only unpunished but virtually unaccused. Air bombardment
    is state terrorism, the terrorism of the rich.
    It has burned up and blasted apart more innocents in the past six decades than have
    all the antistate terrorists who ever lived. Something has benumbed our consciousness against this reality. In the United States people would not consider for the presidency a man who had once thrown a bomb into a crowded restaurant, but they are happy to elect a man who once dropped bombs from airplanes that destroyed not
    only restaurants but the buildings that contained them and the neighborhoods that surrounded them.

    No other country in the world had killed so many people as of the US, UK & Israel.

    Islam (Muslims) - Is The Religion of Peace & Harmony.

    You think of your own before criticizing others. If your loving family... Father, Mother, Sister, Brother & Your siblings were shot in the head in front of you by your "Trigger Happy" army or incinerated by White phosporous & and Carpet bombing, i think you will celebrate and invite those Murderers for a dinner at your home to carryon the bloodshed further..?????

    Muslims are not terrorists, But had been compelled to fight back against the Muderers of their beloved ones as there is nothing left for them except revenge.

    So then, the same ban should apply to the dress code of all your christian nuns. Don't be biased and be right in Judging the truth.

  4. The myth of Islam as a peaceful religion:

    http://www.studytoanswer.net/myths_ch7.html

    Zain, you are simply repeating the same justifications Muslims have been giving us after every atrocity carried out in the name of Mo and his moon god Allah.

    As an aside, I find it particularly amusing that for all LondonMuslim's attempts to portray himself as a "liberal" Muslim, his entire blog is rife with the same anti-Jewish sentiments that have been part and parcel of Islam since its founder Mohammed had the innocent Jewish Bani Quraysh tribe murdered in cold blood for choosing not to acept him as a prophet. No compulsion in religion my foot.
