Muslim council of Britain decrees women cannot debate wearing veil
Following France's ban on veils in public, the Muslim Council of Britain, in the country where protests against the ban across the pond were far more noticeable (there was a demonstration in front of the French embassy), has declared that nobody's got an option (via Big Peace):
And alas, we can't count on Britain to join any country on the mainland who support banning the chador. They've always been so dismaying.
The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) said that not covering the face is a "shortcoming" and suggested that any Muslims who advocate being uncovered could be guilty of rejecting Islam.Umm, I think only Muhammed and other fiends like him decreed it a matter, since they think they're so smart they actually know what the Lord wants. That's pretty much what the whole RoP was built upon - the fantasies of a man who considered himself so smart he thought he knew everything.
In a statement published on its website the MCB, warns: "We advise all Muslims to exercise extreme caution on this issue, since denying any part of Islam may lead to disbelief.
"Not practising something enjoined by Allah and his Messenger… is a shortcoming. Denying it is much more serious."
The statement quotes from the Koran: "It is not for a believer, man or woman, that they should have any option in their decision when Allah and his Messenger have decreed a matter."
The statement will add to controversy about the veil after France earlier this week banned the full-face covering.
And alas, we can't count on Britain to join any country on the mainland who support banning the chador. They've always been so dismaying.
