I support it, let dress like mery mother of jesus Not only in schools but also buses, market, and everywhere. Say no to #immoraldress , let them emulate her and be good like if they are truely christains

What our christian brothers should understand is that unlike Christianity, Islam is a complete way of life and the fact that girls wear hijacked is not meant to spite anybody. For example at my friend's work place the Christians put pressure on the authorities until a mini church was opened for them simply because the Muslims have a mosque but guess what. They only gather to pray there on Thursdays and after the initial enthusiasm, nobody goes there again apart from the pastor who shouts all alone on his own. So if Christians can dress like Mary it will be a win win situation for both. But believe me they will not, most times it is not the religion they follow but western life.

Dawdy:
so, government schools aren't meant for Muslims as well?

They should be secular!

bolafex:


Hmmm.
I dont understand why the hijab is now so important all of a sudden.What point is there to prove?
When we were in school,you could hardly know who the Christians or Moslems were,except from the names.
We operated as one inspite of our religious differences.
Dont know what is happening these days.We speak of unity yet we segregate at every given opportunity-Across ethnic,religious or party lines.

I tell you, our country is regressing. Its really a shame.

From the number of people quoting me It seems I might have misunderstood your post.

Are you saying all Nigeria is one and we should stop regressing into a religious cesspit by trying to limit each others freedom coz of our beliefs? clarification pls

Thats why most countries are banning the wearing of hijab even some Muslim countries are banning the wearing of hijab too to avoid problems that this religion causes.

haba Nigerian people again. are we saying they can hide bomb in the hijab more than the bags that students take to school and even the uniform put on to school every day. lets be wise and not bring up problem where there is non. likewise dont expect a catholic sister to leave her head open because she has something to do with a private or public school. after all how many hours are they using at school compare to the time spent at home that putting on hijab should now be an issue

so you prefer to suffocate your female kids in the blazing heat in Africa because of one Arab culture of covering head,what is so special about a female that is covering her head with a piece of cloth, Africans emancipate yourselves from religious mental slavery.

Cudnt even answer the question. mental slavery is in different forms, If the white man says its ok for the women of ur generation to dress unclad u consider it okay. Abeg how many people don suffocate wearing hijab. It pains u to see the hijab yeah. It is here to stay keep hating.

Nigerian and world Muslims are terrorists and Islamic extremists. They force christian students to wear hijab in the north and also in Saudi Arabia.

You like many other Muslims have little or zero knowledge about the bible. I suggest you focus on your Islam than write what you know nothing of.

1 Corinthians 11: 15
15 But if a woman has long hair , it is a glory to her; for her "hair" is given to her for a covering.

Notice it says, her "hair" is given to her for a covering. Now let's go to verse 5-6, it says


5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head , for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved.

6 For if a woman is not covered , let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved , let her be covered.

Again, notice the bolded. The bible at no point ever said women should cover their "hair", it says cover your "head". And it says the hair is giver to her for a covering. So if a women doesn't have long hair, she should be shaved (because her hair is not covering her head after all) as it is one and same as if her head was completely shaven.

This is very clear from the passage above.

1Cor. 11:4 Every man who has
something on his head while
praying or prophesying
disgraces his head.

1Cor. 11:5 But every woman
who has her head uncovered
while praying or prophesying
disgraces her head, for she is
one and the same as the
woman whose head is shaved.

Now let's look at the verses above as regards covering or head, obviously the first verse wasn't referring to hair as cover for man, it simply means a covering which may be a cap or piece of cloth, and we all know in those days and place, men also have long hair as women. Except you want to claim that men were instructed to shave their hair while praying which surely contradicts the removal of caps as practised by men in churches.

Then pls, use the first verse to analyse the second for women.
You either agree that covering of head for both men and women isn't about long hair or you contradict the verse of your bible.

dragonking2:
You are the one that don't know it's Content...why will an Islamic country ban it's own hijab in the first place? Use your brain and think.. Tunisia banned theirs long ago and still maintain it same with Morocco. ..Nobody hates Islam rather Islam breeds hate and terrorism...Carry your daughter to Tunisia or Morocco wearing an hijab and see how they will drive her out.. .These are Islamic countries ...Everyone is gradually phasing this evil religion out.. ..

How does banning the use of Hijab tally with phasing out a religion? These said countries are still 98% Muslims. You are just writing nonsense

ollah1:

The religion is gradually phasing out because you are unable to explain why an Islamic country will ban it's own islamic hijab?
Also note that Tunisia and other Muslim countries are also arresting men that keep long beards.. .Nobody wants terrorists even Muslim are now rejecting their own just to be safe..

Do you have comprehension problems? In 1981, Tunisia banned the use of Hijab in public places, what unrest was in the world at that time?
If they are still on it and also arresting men with beards, its simply because they are playing safe.
Has that reduced the number Mosques in the countries?
Has that reduced the Muslim populations in the countries?

Hell no to both questions

MarieSucre:


This your logic is crossing a thin line. What if the other people see the hijab as irritating? What then?

Then it is left for the law court to determine whether such irritation matters enough to warrant a ban. The judge just said No.

Oga tell us why it was banned then and still banned now.. .Other Muslim countries are banning too, so tell us why a Muslim country will ban its own islamic hijab and stop beating about the bush

HaneefahRN:


Don't mind them. You'll go to a supposedly religion-free school and we all sing and dance to their Christian songs, make us celebrate Christmas carol and all (for those of us that went to boarding house especially you must be there). There is no problem with this.
In school they will come to you in class or start making noise, sometimes go from room to room early in the morning or stay in front of your room preaching and praying, disturbing one's peace (no problem, they are practising their faith)
I knew how many sets suffered for muslim nursing students to use hijab in my school then (though it had been allowed by nursing council almost 20 years ago), they stood against it's use. Then a 'sister" was admitted and allowed to use her cape (no problem she is practising her faith). My set eventually won the case and Muslim females now use their hijabs, after then the insults and intimidation we faced from some Christian tutors was just crazy, and the most annoying part are the people with terrible behaviours that will later come with pamphlets to try and come and preach to one. Hypocrites

So you were among those nursing students that were discriminated against for wearing hijab? The hijab that isn't even full length hijab, i just pity you sis.

And their hypocrisy is that they would be the first to say Islam and Muslims are intolerant while they are showing their intolerance everywhere. They taunt and provoke Muslims with reckless abandon, but whenever there is a reaction they insult the hell out of us and our noble prophet.

SMH for them.

Sweetheart the truth is that Mary was a Jewish woman who practiced Judaism till she died. Same with Jesus. Covering the veil is not a religious practice for Jews but a cultural practice. It was as a result of their dry dusty environs. Even men covered their hair and tied it around their face when the wind picks up the dust.

Even today in Israel religious Jewish women do not wear a hijab-like veil. At most they do not put on trousers.

[/quot

Awww.....you called me sweet, thanks dear, r u muslim.

Do u insinuate that currently, the wind does not pick up dust in that region anymore.

I also noted that you know christianity never existed during and after Jesus' reign.

Finally, if you're conversant with the history of that region , you'll know that women who were wayward would expose their body parts, and that the Hijab only became cultural as teachings were passed on by different prophets that existed from amongst them (from Adam to Jesus to Muhammad) may the peace of Allah be upon them all.

Madam ITK, I am waiting for you. ..i have answered your question...waiting for reply if you have any...I am ready to treat each and every one of you guys fvck up one at a time today

carinmom:

If all parties will embrace peace and tolerance, then i think there won't be any problem. If muslim students are comfortable with hijab i see no reason why that will be a threat to the christian students and vice versa.
This has been the practice in the northern public schools where the muslim students wear hijab and the christians only gown or skirt and you find them mixed up in the classroom without any problem.

Ma'am, am a Northern Christian, from Gusau, Bunza, Sokoto, Zaria,Bebeji, my family roots are almost inexhaustible.
What we have in the North is not just a perfect Model for harmonious coexistence.
Starting from the home then to the schools and beyond, the Kids are already divided along religious lines.
The Christians are 'kafirai' or 'Arna'.

OBAGADAFFI:


So because they do it in the volatile North, it should be done in the South .

Do you know the Lagos MSS tried this nonsense during Fashola era, and Fashola told them no way.

Osun has been peaceful before Aregbe came in.

CAN is reacting this way because this situation is created by AREGBE is totally unnecessary.

Since it will not affect your faith in anyway why don't you let them be? Is that the tolerance you christians are boasting of?

How can i be pained over the trash you have been writing? They aren't phasing out Islam but seperating politics from Religion which is the absolute correct thing to do. I'm not the nigga you will paste nonsense to and would agree with it nook, line and sinker. Like i said earlier, you have a comprehension problem or perhaps you are just a religious bigot

Why are they dumping Islam in their politics? Islam is being dumped gradually so that people like you won't whine about it.. .
Tunisia's Ennahda distances itself from political Islam systematically. ..Nobody wants a violent religion especially when mixed with politics.
.Now they also ensured that men don't keep long beards like Alfa and women must not wear any form of veil or hijab or whatever... .So if a Muslim country is doing all this what does it tell you? ..Very soon Islam will only be practiced in a tunnel or hide out..Dont complain by then.

ollah1:


How absurd was it when you were in school and you see people wearing them?
Did the Muslim or authorities ban the Christians from wearing theirs?

Has there been any unrest in the state?

POC, Muslims dont wear hijab in a general school here even if you are the daughter of the imam, can you tell me clothes worn by xtains that portray them as xtians?

Why are you such a dolt without a brain. By right, religion and politics shouldn't mix. They mixed it from the onset and they are simply separating the two from one another. If you wanna talk about politics, it should be strictly politics. If you wanna talk religion, it should be simply religion.

Tunisia is simply making a smart move.

PRESS RELEASE.
10TH JUNE 2016.

The True Face of Religious Intolerance in Osun State.


The usage of Hijab on school uniforms in secondary school as directed by the law has ignited unwanted religious imbroglio in Osun State. This has ultimately become the center of discussion in both religious and intellectual ambiances, and the political juggernauts are carefully keying in to make a cheap political points.

The Center For Human Rectitude wishes to advise CAN in Osun State to seek measures to better the morality of the Christians and Muslims in the state instead of countering the Hijab Freedom judgement on school Uniforms.

It is never on record that the Muslim community sued the federal government for allowing the weekly holiday on Sundays and Saturdays which were carefully chosen to respect the Christian Days of Worship.


Nigerians have never ever read it anywhere in the news where the Sultan has filed a case against the Federal government for allowing students to use cross chain on their necks on their school Uniforms and also questioning why many government school principals would force Muslim students to close their eyes and pray in the Christian way with free bibles given to them in a literally compelling manner. So we ask, where is the tolerance?


Muslims in Osun have sought the legal way to claim their rights in Osun State without violence.
The CAN of OSUN state should do the same to seek for theirs.

Governor Fayemi as a Christian governor endorsed Hijab usage on school Uniforms in Ekiti State. And in this case, the government of Osun State is a defendant.

Many government owned schools in US and the UK and many other advanced and developed countries from were missionaries came from allow secondary school Muslims students to wear their hijabs on their School Uniforms.

So, why the uproar by CAN, Osun State Chapter? Should this be tagged a lack of international exposure or a deliberate attempt to jeopardize the peace, circumvent the law and score cheap political goal? Could it equally be correct, as being speculated in some circles that CAN is merely being used as a political tool in the hand of politicians.

Frankly speaking, the act of seeking a divisive and counter disposition by anyone against the freedom of expression of other people that is fully entrenched in the Nigerian constitution is a huge lost of priority, a celebration of ignorance and open invitation to anarchy.

The Center For Human Rectitude humbly implores Nigerians to be calm on this tensed period in Osun State. The Legal System is there to address the issue appropriately.

We align ourselves with many sane minds who believe that true advocacy of tolerance is a reflection of respect for the fundamental human rights of others.
