Myde4naija:
common sense should tell you that Constitution should protect everyone in the country.

laudate:


1). Muric has not taken action against the killings of muslims in the north by Boko Haram, by presenting a memorandum to the Senate on the issue.

2). Muric has not taken action against the issue of almajiri who roam the streets, and are deprived of a sound education.

3). Muric has not taken action against child-marriages, where young girls are given out in marriage to men old enough to be their fathers, within the muslim community.

4). Muric has not taken action against Fulani herdsmen who ransack entire communities and kill innocent muslims, in addition to those of other faiths.

5). Muric has not taken action against the fact that women are not allowed to practise as lawyers in Sharia courts, thereby depriving such women the fundamental right to earn a living, in a legitimate manner.

But Muric now has enough time and energy to pursue frivolities like the hijab, which is an item of clothing not even mentioned in the Quran? Kai!

Ignorance they say is a disease
Because some rich people are doing something in a wrong way you must follow suit because they are rich
If your rich friend is eating poison you must eat it too...
If this lady in question walked naked into the law school you will be one of broadcaster on internet
Seek knowledge and stop this hypocrisy

The Muslim rights concern group has submitted a memorandum to the Federal house of Representatives concerning the 'injustice' meted out to a Muslim student, Firdaus Amasa.

Amasa made headlines late last year after she refused to remove her hijab in order to be called to bar. Below is a statement made available to PoliticsNGR from MURIC, signed by its leader, Prof. Ishaq Akintola;

The Committee on Judiciary and Justice of the House of Representatives was mandated on Wednesday 20th December, 2017 to investigate the circumstances surrounding Law School hijabgate. A law graduate of the University of Ilorin, AbdulSalaam Firdaus Amasa, was barred from ‘call to bar’ by the Nigerian Law School. The committee was given two weeks for the assignment.
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has since dispatched its memorandum to the committee.

In summary, MURIC’s memorandum which was addressed to the Chairman of the House Committee on Judiciary and Justice and entitled “Memorandum in Respect of Call to Bar Case in the School of Law”, affirmed the mandatory nature of hijab for Muslim women in the Qur’an and restated the provisions of the Nigerian constitution on freedom of religion and respect for the dignity of the human person. The memorandum also revealed previous court decisions in favour of hijab including a Court of Appeal pronouncement confirming the right of Muslim women to use hijab.

MURIC appealed to the House of Representatives to “stand up for justice in this matter of infringement of Allah-given fundamental right of a lady who, having satisfied all righteousness in the Faculty of Law, University of Ilorin, is being denied her right to practice the law profession on account of her being a Muslim”.
The memorandum also stated that the Law School Hijabgate has brought to the fore the myriad of persecutions faced by Muslim women because of hijab in various sectors.

It adds, “In the process, thousands of Muslims have been denied international passports, driving licences and national identity cards while millions have been disenfranchised during elections. It is a case of mass profiling of Muslims.”

It added, “We therefore appeal to the House of Representatives as the voice of the voiceless and the bulwark against oppression and persecution, to take the bull by the horn by criminalizing the obstruction, denial and stigmatisation of female Muslim women in hijab while carrying out their civic responsibilities like obtaining international passport, driving licence, voters’ registration card, etc.

MURIC concluded by seeking the following reliefs:
1. Immediate ‘call to bar’ for AbdulSalaam Firdaus Amasa;

2. A judicial inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the molestation of Muslim students who were forced to remove their hijab on that fateful day;

3. Identification and adequate disciplinary measure (or measures) in respect of the Law School female lecturer who stepped on the hijab of Firdaus and debased it by using her feet to rub it on the floor and “kicked it around”;

4. a review of the code of dressing in the Nigerian Law School as it affects the ‘manifestation’ of religious beliefs and

5. a review of the dress code in all professions where uniforms are used such that female Muslims in such professions can use suitable hijab along with the uniform.

If you've not been hearing about MURIC activities that doesn't mean they ain't working. Kindly, Google search....MURIC and one NGO, CERAP or so are the first set of group that raised alarm about the Fulani herdsmen ish and they went to the extent of writing saraki... #make use of google to confirm whether truly they've not been taking steps on the issues you raised.
i am more concerne about the last part of your comment, hey more than 10verses of the quran talked about the use of hijab and countless hadiths talked about it. stop making hasty conclusion on what you have no knowledge of.

I don't know why it is only poor Muslims that take this dressing of a thing serious.I have seen pictures of Buhari's daughter called to the same bar without her hijab.When I go through the social media pages of most of these northern Muslim BIG MEN daughters I find most of them not wearing hijab...The annoying thing about this case is that the foolish girl studied law,knew about these rules before enrolling into law school and still decided to break the rules.This got me wondering if she actually learnt anything all through her stay in the university.

fergie001:
Is it not ironic that in a country where deaths have been recorded in Omoku,people in pains in Abuja,fuel disaster all over the country,bomb-blast in Borno,fulani ethnic-cleansing of Benue,that Ishaq Akintola and his fellow Neanderthals will subject us to an hijab issue that is dead on arrival?
No condolence,no sympathies to those who lost loved ones,no way forward?
This man is the Shekau,forget the beards,he is Shekau......

I think they would have submitted a memorandum for them to be granted their Islamic country where everything about Islam will be exercised without any inference or disturbance. That will save everybody unnecessarily headaches. These are the things that makes some people believe that this country is not and can never be one.
Am also curious why MURIC is yet to issue a statement or response or their stance on the atrocities metted to the entire nation by Fulani herdsmen. Does it mean hijab is more important than the lives been lost on per second billing?

When will CAN do same on the Fulani herdsmen massacre in middle belt


On the topic
I think it's time for all religious groups to have their own law schools and dress as they like since some people cannot do without religious sentiments for once in their lives.....
The traditional worshippers too shouldn't be over looked.. Everyone should be carried along

Issues like this will be coming up until we divide this country... There is no running away from it
The fact that Nigeria is a secular state gives some people sleep less nights ... They will never rest until they set the country ablaze

but have you ever taken time to read the English Qur'an? nd find out wether what the media, the self acclaimed Islamic terrorist groups ,etc made u believe is true? have u?


as a learned person m sure you know their are at least three sides to a story.. or an issue, the accused side, the acusee nd the witness side...



have u ever taken ur time to mke research on the origin of bible, as written in Hebrew, how it was converted to almost 10 dif versions, what changed, wt didn't change? why it ws changed nd who changed it? ...



The best way to be knowledgeable is through PERSONAL FACT FINDING FROM ORIGINAL SOURCES ....
