Somali Forces Ban, Burn Muslim Women's Veils by Mamajama(m): 4:16pm On May 09, 2007 |
MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somali security forces are seizing and even burning Muslim women's veils in Mogadishu to stop Islamist insurgents disguising themselves for attacks, authorities and witnesses said on Wednesday. The Western-backed government's crackdown on veils is a highly symbolic turnaround for the Somali capital. When it was under Islamist control in the second half of 2006, women were instructed to cover their heads. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070509/wl_nm/somalia_conflict_dc |

Lol. . . I hope so! ![]() But it is doubtful that the banning of veils or other things would open people's eyes. We can be thankful, though, for the awareness that some have now tried adopting it as a means for perpetrating heinous crimes. |
