We have been too much into this controversy.
It is heartening to see so many comments from all walks of people conservative,
moderate and liberal (Muslim and non-Muslim).
Basically Hijaab, is one of the popular misconceptions of the Islam. Unfortunately it is raised time and again for
political and religious reasons or to malign Islam. Factually the persons at the root of such
type of controversy may have no interest in Hijaab or women. However to fulfil
their own personal agenda's, they inflame the passion to divert the attention
of the people from the pressing issues. They
may not remember such issues for long, but the controversy will go on
raging. Islam as a religion has
prescribed its followers both men and women a dress code and it will remain. Debate
on this issue is fruitless. Now it is high time that we put a veil on Burqa
issue and look at other pressing issues like hunger, burning of women and
children, stripping of women, refugees, other atrocities against women and
erosion of moral values.
