Oppose ban on burqa: Deoband to Islamic nations

A senior seminar Monday, May 3, appealed to Islamic countries to remove the ban on Islamic veils in European countries that infringe their religious autonomy of members.

"It is unlucky that Islamic countries have opposite the legislation, which European countries to curb Muslim women wear veils, which are an integral part of our belief," deputy rector Darul Uloom Deoband, Maulana Abdul Khalique Madrasi.

He urged Muslim countries to oppose the ban and press European countries to abolish the ban.

"The action is inequitable and against secularism. Some anti-Islamic forces attempt to curb the spiritual freedoms of Muslims in these countries, he argued.
