Female Muslim Trainee Lawyer Is Ejected From Court Over Hijab by Nobody: 7:21pm On Jan 26, 2018 |
Asmae Belfakir, a Moroccan-born Muslim trainee lawyer said she felt humiliated after a judge ejected her, last week, from an administrative court in northern Italy for refusing to remove her headscarf. AA.com reports that tt a hearing in a regional administrative court in Bologna, Asmae Belfakir was asked by Judge Giancarlo Mozzarelli to either remove her headscarf or leave the courtroom. “I entered the courtroom with all the other lawyers involved in that case. The judge started to say: ‘Can you remove?’ He didn’t even say ‘hijab’ and wasn’t looking at me. I thought he just wanted someone to remove their coat. I couldn’t have imagined he was talking to me. Then I looked him in the eyes and realised. I was upset and I said, finishing his sentence, ‘the hijab?’” Belfakir said. “Immediately afterwards, he said: ‘Yes. If you want to stay in this courtroom, you must remove it.’” “I replied, ‘I’m not going to remove it. I’m going out.’” She said that while she was opening the door, he said to the audience: “Yes, that’s because of the respect of our culture and traditions.” “Hearing a judge speaking of culture and tradition in that context made me feel really bad. I was just there to learn a job, to understand how the law should be applied. I wasn’t there to be humiliated because of my religion,” she said. “I heard a lot of things about that judge; his modus operandi and his personal thoughts,” Belfakir said. “I’m pretty sure that he would never have asked a nun to remove her veil, and I’m quite sure because a nun is not insulting his culture as I did by wearing the scarf.” Belfakir said the judge should have known why she was wearing a scarf and that it was not affecting the judicial hearing or her skills as a trainee lawyer. “In this case, the law should protect people and their freedom of religion – as it is not affecting in a negative way the others – no matter how difficult it gets,” she added. http://www.tribuneonlineng.com/muslim-trainee-lawyer-ejected-court-hijab/ 12 Likes 2 Shares |

NIGERIA NEWSPAPERS: Today's Thisday Newspaper Headlines [27 January, 2018]. Below are the headlines found on Thisday Online Newspaper for today, Saturday, 27 January , 2018. Buhari: It's Disgraceful, None of Our Refineries is Working Optimally Sat, 27 Jan 2018 President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday in Abuja lamented the sorry state of the country’s four refineries in Warri, Port Harcourt and Kaduna, saying it was disgraceful that not even one of them was working optimally. The President, who was speaking while receiving a delegation from Eni, led by the Chief Upstream Officer, Mr. Antonio Vella, said no refinery was performing up to 50 per cent. Buhari’s media aide, Femi Adesina, quoted the President to have said: “In my first coming, all our refineries were working. Port Harcourt used to refine 60,000 barrels per day, and it was later upgraded to 100,000 barrels. Kaduna and Warri were also working optimally, and we used to satisfy the demand of the local market. We equally exported 100,000 barrels of refined petrol. Now, no refinery is performing up to 50 per cent. It is a disgraceful thing.” http://www.naijanewspapers.com.ng/2018/01/nigeria-newspapers-todays-thisday_26.html 2 Likes 1 Share

skedman:I'm not a muslim, but the way some characters behind some monikers make comments makes me wonder if they are actually christians. Some of them are the real anti-christs, not the christains they will want to claim. What prompted that statement you just quoted is what I can't still understand. From their comments, you easily know what they are, but, I tell you, most of them are not christians. 7 Likes |
