ISIS in Mosul, Iraq has reportedly banned the face-covering burqa veil in security and military centers due to safety concerns. While the burka is mandatory in other parts of the city, ISIS has prohibited the veils after a number of insurgents were killed by women wearing burqas to disguise themselves.
According to a report by Al Alam News Network, as translated by IFP, within the past two years, the ISIS used to force women in Iraq and Syria to wear burqa and niqab; however, now the group has no choice but to prevent women with burqa from entering its security centres.
A local source in the Iraqi province of Nineveh announced on Friday, September 2, that the terrorist group has released an order, based on which no woman is allowed to be wearing niqab or burqa when entering the security and military centres.
Over in Europe, France has banned the burqa (and other religious symbols) from being worn in public, and women in parts of Switzerland who wear a burqa in public are subject to fines. Austria recently ruled that an employer has the right to prohibit an employee from wearing a burqa on the job, and nearly two-thirds of Germans want a ban of the garment.
Some women have taken to symbolically burning their burqas and niqabs (a similar veil that covers the face) after escaping from ISIS-controlled territory.
Undecided. Good idea, but some of those chicks are doing the world a favor by covering their butt-ugly faces! (imo)
:^)
I repeat, "DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS."
In Dar-al-Harb (the House of War), Muslims are non-stop safety concerns.
Apparently, Sharia can be selectively overlooked .
They must have seen how O'Bungler handled the Constitution
and evades Congress
and went into selective enforcment just like him !
Historically, terrorists have used the burka to disguise themselves from time to time not just against western targets but in their own internecine violence between sects. There were stories circulating that some of the 9/11 hijackers wore burkas onto the planes. Yassir Arafat purportedly also disguised himself in a burka, carrying a baby, as he fled back to Jordan at the end of the Arab-Israeli war of 1967. Robert Fisk, the British journalist and anti-Zionist, documented several other high profile instances including the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, and Nuri Al-Said who fled after his failed coup attempt in Iraq in 1958. If you search you will find multiple international media reporting on instances where ISIS fighters also hiding under the Burka either to flee or to attack, including some on video.
“.........ISIS has prohibited the veils after a number of insurgents were killed by women wearing burqas to disguise themselves.”
I believe I read awhile back, here at FR BTW that guys were wearing burqas to disguise themselves as women to commit various crimes.
BWAHAHAHA
That’s because last week, British Special Forces disguised in Burkas walked right into downtown Raqqa and killed one the ISIS leaders.
Never dawned on the troglodyte retards that their stupid costumes could be used against them.
