A Rebuttal from a British Muslim Lady Scholar to French President Sarkozy
(M. Furqan Khan, Karachi)
Hijab Is Islamic, Burqa Is
Personal Choice
We don't see this as a religious issue but more of a political one. And as such,
this video is hilariously superb, a rebuttal from a British Muslim lady scholar
to French President Sarkozy. Although Burqa is more of a local traditional
expression in a handful of Muslim countries as compared to Hijab which is
universally Islamic, it remains a legitimate cultural practice for some people
if they choose to practice it. President Sarkozy's anti-Burqa comments do not
make this distinction. It seems the intent of his statement was more along the
lines of hitting at Islam the religion. Which is despicable. Imagine if tomorrow
Muslim countries banned the public display of the Christian cross. That would be
despicable as well. But how is that different from Mr. Sarkozy's statement?
By the way, Mr. Sarkozy is a very close and dear friend of Mr. Asif Ali Zardari,
the Pakistani president. Maybe some of our friends on this list who have access
to him could suggest to him to advise his longtime French friend that his
statement is an unnecesary fodder for those who want a civilizational war.
Meanwhile, enjoy this.

VIDEO: Dr Nazreen rebuts President Sarkozy's ban burqa comments
Dr Nazreen Nawaz, Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain, challenges French President Sarkozy's
many assertions from his now infamous ban the burqa speech when he described the
burqa as an unacceptable symbol of women's enslavement "not be welcome on our
territory."
"It is laughable that Mr. Sarkozy talks of enslavement of women while he is
married to Carla Bruni, a former nude model - a profession that many women
consider as the embodiment of "female enslavement to men. "
