BREAKING: Tajikistan 🇹🇯, a secular Muslim-majority country (96.4%), has BANNED the hijab & public Eid celebrations, declaring them “foreign culture”

[RickyDiBiase]

I don't know if banning religious activities or dress are actions of secular nations.

Banning Eid? Banning Hijab? Um. That is the opposite of secular.

Look at it like this

what they're doing is the equivalent to what this country should've done after the civil war.

Those terrorists who attacked the Moscow theatre earlier this year were tajik now they have an incentive to go and commit terrorism in their own country.

I googled some tajikistan women, they better pull their hijabs back

I agree, tho the hijab dress ban I don’t see as problematic persee within the context of women’s rights within Muslim communities.

This is a Muslim majority nation (96.4%) deciding this, not a Christian nation doing it to a minority Muslim community (like France).

This women’s rights issue is ABSOLUTELY a thing in Muslim countries/communities if we’re being honest.

But it ain’t limited to Muslims tho, bc 1 look at “secular” AmeriKKKa:

We ALL know that AmeriKKKa calling itself “secular” is a blatant lie.

AmeriKKKa is Christian country, countless actions affirm this fact.

Including the current US-backed genocide of Palestinians being firmly rooted in evangelical Christian Zionism driving US Imperialism.

I hope they have a strong military.

Because this is ABSOLUTELY a thing in Muslim countries/communties if we’re being honest.

Not limited to them tho, because one look at “secular” AmeriKKKa:

We ALL know that AmeriKKKa calling itself “secular” is a blatant lie. It’s a Christian country, with other religious groups in it.

What if a woman wants to wear hijab? Do you know more than her? Isn’t banning hijab going against women’s rights? Surely the freedom to choose is the secular answer?

This is the problem.

They are actually going to tell people what they should wear as a government.

Doing the same thing strictly Islamic countries governments do

 

[Space Cowboy]

This is the problem.

They are actually going to tell people what they should wear as a government. That's wild

No it’s against religion therefore it’s good

/s

Governments becoming more secular is usually a good thing, but I'm really not with banning clothing.

atheist governments have tried in the past, they never succeeded.
kamel ataturk tried everything in his power to erase Islam and to become european.
the shah of Iran and so many others, but ultimately you can not force people to become religious or irreligious

Secular =/= Atheist

The need to upgrade to burkas

Hijab is not part of Islam

Islam by default is Arabization

 

[voiture]

Hijab is not part of Islam

You have no idea. The Arab god commands it. It's literally a verse in the Quran which tells women to cover up

 

[Space Cowboy]

Hijab is not part of Islam

Quiet, fool.
