[ALOCHONA] Burqa can't be forced: High Court

You mean, you did not write, "Those who want to be "Practicing Muslims" need to observe hijab [ Source: Al Qur'an 24:30-31]".
.
The Question is, why are you lying?
Where the hell this Verse says, what you wrote if you have not mis-interpreted it?
You must think, I do not know Arabic and am just like you believing in whatever my Mollaa says.
If you are right, tell me, why our Prophet's own Wives and Daughters did not cover their faces or wore a Borqaa?
Who the hell are you trying to fool here?

For your information I am from Bangladesh, I am worried about my country. You need to go to an Indian forum or Pakistani forum if you have anything to say to them or wanna ask them about their Supreme court.

> TURKMAN: But we need to understand that men or women are NOT being forced to go against religion either. We are going against "FORCING" them to follow something that is not a part of Religion because nowhere in Qoraan, Allah had said to wear a Borqa. Our Prohet's own wives never wore it because it was not even invented. All his wives never hid their faces either. If its a part of Islam, why all those big Pagri Mollaas of yours could not prove this case in Indian Supreme Court?

Having said that, we need to understand that men or women should NOT be forced to go against religion either (Like the previous military regime in Turkey). Turkey,UAE and Malaysia are good role models we can follow when we talk about religion. All citizens of those countries have freedom to follow or not follow any particular religion.

Those who want to be "Practicing Muslims" need to observe hijab [ Source: Al Qur'an 24:30-31] for modesty (Certain rules applies for men as well). The first command about hijab was directed towards men. Albeit we generally think it is only at women, men needs to follow hijab [ etiquette] as well.

For Islamic institutions "Islamic" dress should be enforced (That may include Burqa if the local community feels right about it). Albeit there are difference of opinion among scholars if Burqa is mandatory in Islam or not. Most scholars think "Hijab" covers Islamic requirements for women.

Maybe experts should be looking into the verdict more to ensure some "Activist" judges going overboard or not. There are some concerns from liberal groups about civil rights in another ruling regarding Shaheed minar.

Blaming everything Islamic TODAY for what some Jamaat-e-Islami leaders did 40 years ago does not seem fair or logical to me.
