Muslim Students Oppose Ban On Hijab by blezzy080: 1:28am On Jan 01, 2016
The Muslim Students' Society of Nigeria (Lagos
State Area Unit) has warned President Muhammad Buhari
against attempts to ban the Hijab.
The Amir (President) of MSSN LSAU, Mallam Saheed
Ashafa, said such a consideration would ridicule the war
against Boko Haram.
“It is an unnecessary approach,” Ashafa said.
Ashafa said the on Hijab meant the Boko Haram had
succeeded in their “deceptive ideology” and might
strengthen their “unjustifiable zeal” to kill.
The sentiments come after Buhari, during a presidential
chat late Wednesday, said the government might consider
ban on Hijab if terrorists continued to use it to perpetuate
evil.
Ashafa said this was unrealistic.
"The statement by President Buhari is disappointing. It is
an indication that the present administration is trying to
apply the faulty approach of the last administration that
took us nowhere. A ban on Hijab is wrong, biased and the
greatest approach that can drown the support and
popularity of the Buhari-government.”

Ashafa proposed the government acquired “bomb
detective gadgets” which could detect bombs from afar.
“Instead of considering how to stop the wearing of Hijab,
the FG should be thinking of how to stop Boko Haram,”
said Ashafa.
He said the Hijab was a garment of honour, an apparel of
modesty and an outfit commanded to be worn by Allah.
“If Hijab ban must be considered, then the government
has to also ban use of vehicles, handbags, cell phones,
motorcycle and suits because more evils have been
perpetuated through them. It's totally illogical to attach
Boko Haram attacks to a dress code or pattern.”
Ashafa, however, condemned Boko Haram and its
activities in entirety, but insisted that more practical
approaches were needed to defeat the terrorists.
“Just as it would be wrong for anyone to say that suits or
vehicles should be banned because they are used to rob or
assassinate and terrorise. It would also be unfair for
anybody to consider Hijab ban because of its wrong
usage,” said Ashafa.
A Hijab is a veil that covers the head and chest, which is
particularly worn by some Muslim woman beyond the age
of puberty in the presence of adult males outside of their
immediate family.

Dumb muzzies using boko haram to blackmail our common sense.

Its smart policing to ban hijab. If boko haram are pissed they can shift to using another muslim clothing so we can ban it too and further reduce their options.

Btw... "bomb detective gadgets which could detect bombs from afar" WTF

Pls wahts d brain of muzzies made of??
