The radical terrorist group ISIS has decided to ban women from wearing burkas, but not because of equal rights or a new position on the role of women.
In a humiliating turn, ISIS cant have women wearing the veil in security offices in Mosul, Iraq, because it endangers their security, the Daily Mirror reports.
An insider explained to the Al Alam News Network that a series of deadly attacks on terror groups were carried out by women wearing burkas and niqabs over the last few months. Women will still be required to cover themselves while accompanying ISIS in public. Their restrictions are even more strict, requiring women to wear gauze to cover their eyes and gloves to cover the skin on their hands.
The terrorists have also banned smoking, dancing, watching any foreign television, and the internet.

They know what it symbolizes. The fundamentalists among them know what it symbolizes. Everyone knows what it symbolizes. But here in the West, it's just a fashion choice, right?

(4,238 posts)I find it interesting that many progressives I've seen on various social media sites have rightly celebrated the death of a woman-hating icon. They have no problems ridiculing her misogynist platform, yet defend this oppressive garb as a choice. Women vote to subjugate themselves all the time, be it against voting and working outside the home, or covering up so as not to tempt men, or for mutilating vaginas to stem sexual desire. They should all be called out, not excused as "choices."
