The Indian High Court made a history making ruling on whether Muslim girls had the right to wear a Hijab against the declared policy of an educational institution on school uniform.
The judgement was both clear and far reaching. The judges ruled that the hijab was not an "essential religious practice in Islamic faith" and dismissed a set of petitions filed by Muslim students. The verdict confirms what many Islamic scholars have stated that there is no requirement in Islam for women to wear such garments. In fact, the Hijab in all its variations is more to do with the cultural practice of some communities in the Middle East.
The verdict comes as a damning blow to the extremists in India who have used religion to sow discord.
Interestingly, the vast majority of these Muslim students have been in education for years without the Hijab. In fact, clear evidence has emerged that some of the girls leading the Hijab charge have displayed themselves openly on social media sites like Facebook and Instagram. Many of them have multiple selfies showing their latest hairstyles, make up tips and posing like western Hollywood stars to attract attention.
And these same girls suddenly woke up one day to and realised they had to wear the Hijab! The tragedy of this morally and ethically bankrupt action by these girls means they have themselves destroyed their own futures. They have accepted to be slaves to some Muslim men who command and demand that their women behave in a certain way. They have gone on their knees to the demands of the Mullahs who have always abused their position of power to act against women and keep them enslave.
The Indian left media (and their loudspeaker international colleagues) jumped on the bandwagon, as did some politicians whose only interest was to garner the Muslim vote.
The matter went to the courts of course, and in the 129-page judgement, the judges made it very clear, the wearing of the Hijab is NOT an essential element of Islam.
For context, lest the western wokes attempt to spread their misinformation, the following European states have introduced full or partial ban of the burqa: Austria, France, Belgium, Denmark, Bulgaria, the Netherlands (in public schools, hospitals and on public transport), Germany (partial bans in some states), Italy (in some localities), Spain (in some localities of Catalonia) and the list goes on. In fact, even the European Court itself has ruled that such bans are legal.
The madness of the Hijab knows no bounds. Did you know that there is something called, ‘World Hijab Day’! Yes, you cannot make this up if you tried. The international community have come together to enslave Muslim women and then celebrate that slavery. Fortunately, there are others fighting this madness. In response to World Hijab Day, Yasmine Mohammed, a Canadian human-rights campaigner started the #NoHijabDay campaign in 2018 to “…celebrate the women who have defied social censure and the state to remove the hijab”.
The Indian courts in their judgement (like the Triple Talak Laws) has empowered Muslim women by giving them legal backing not to wear the oppressive sign of slavery to men. In one simple ruling, it has freed millions of Muslim women.
The chains of a culture and a community to silence its women should not be seen as a choice made by women. They wear the Hijab because after hundreds of years of brainwashing, their men have made them into possessions.
In the words of Yasmine Mohammed: “It is sad to see that there remains this pervasive idea that Muslims all share a culture. No. They do not. They each have distinct cultures that have just been shrouded by Islam in the same way each individual girl's personality gets shrouded by hijab so that they all start looking the same.”
