Good news: the Burka is not Islamic

From Egypt good news for everyone: wear the niqab (sort of Burka), It is not an Islamic precept or the Koran, nor does it have to do with it.

Mohamed Tantawi supports him, The highest Muslim authority of Egypt, who, visiting a school in Cairo, He asked a girl to remove her niqab (sort of Burka) that covered integrally. To the objections of Mohamed Tantawi girl replied that the niqab (as the Burka), They are the result of a local custom that has no connection with the precepts of the Koran.

To report the news is the BCC Online, which incorporates the newspaper “al-Masri al-Yom”.

it niqab, Egypt's full length dress, He has recently had an increase in the distribution, And how does the burka in use in Afghanistan, also demeans the woman hiding under a totally black veil. On the other hand, those who consider those traditions as mere tribalism or symptoms of underdevelopment examine itself well if they are not our customs also equally questionable often too commodification of women, from which not only it demands a continuous display of beauty and turgid particular at the cost of surgery, but often it is reduced to shanks in exposure as in butcher calling “showgirls”.

But for heaven's sake, better the freedom to expose rather than the absolute ban, which, however, is often only towards their women but not towards foreigners.

In short, the good new one is that from today no one can more legitimately ask that the use of burka and similar costumes in Europe and in the world be allowed, because it does not have a foundation in a faith and it is simple costumes.

Nothing new in this ban, the same way that we do not allow a person to kill her own child or deprive him of care even though his religion requires him (we might think of a new Abraham), And so we must ethically ban burka, because in fact, Not only is it a threat to democracy, But he also mortificial for the person who cannot enjoy even one of the foundations of identity, the public image of oneself .

Now I want to see what the left of cultural relativism will say that has practiced the equality of cultures, but which in practice means not having any thoughts. I want to see what the “weak thought” that behind the inability to read the dignity of the human being he finished renouncing him too.

New times are approaching, although they will not appear immediately.
