Because they will soon no longer have the “freedom” to veil themselves in the land of the infidels, the devout are to leave the land of infidels. Such was the counsel of Sheikh Abdurrahman, preacher in the Al-Diraa mosque in the Saudi city of Riyad. This order gets our unlimited support!

Even though this full-body mummification — as we already sense — has nothing to do with Islam, the ban prevents the devout Muslima from her free practice of religion. Is this understood so far? Die WELT reports:

Islamic preachers in the conservative Arab states present little sympathy for the planned burka bans in France and Belgium. For most of them, the ban of total body covering is an expression of intolerance against Muslims. A preacher from Saudi Arabia even called for the Muslims in Belgium to exit the country.

Sheikh Abdurrahman, who preaches at the Al-Diraa mosque in the downtown of the Saudi capital Riyad, said: “If a Muslim cannot protect his religion, then he is to emigrate. For the country of God is great.” The Saudi preacher declared later: “If the Muslims living there are not allowed to spread the message of their faith, then they should leave the country of the infidel.”

The preacher of the Al-Sinidar mosque in the Yemeni capital Sanaa, Chalid Bahischwan showed astonishment over “these campaigns by France and Belgium targeted against the Islamic appearance.”

For after all, so few Muslims reside in Europe that the majority of this miniority might feel overwhelmingly threatened. He stressed at the same time, however, that the veiling of the face is not a religious duty — in contrast to the wearing of the head scarf.

How it could encroach upon the “free” rights of Muslim women while at the same time have nothing to do with the Quran remains unclear.

Mohammed Abdulkawi, who preaches in the Al-Mustafa mosque in the northern Iraqi Kurdish city Erbil said it is wrong that countries such as France and Belgium, who normally regard the free rights of their citizens very highly, have decided not to grant this freedom to Muslim women. “The European women clothe themselves as uncovered as they please, why shouldn’t we be able to do what we want?”, he concluded.

And again, things are becoming more strongly Orwellian: Freedom of a cage…one only needs to make the first step!
