Very Ugly thing

Law school is publicly funded and it is settled in Nigeria by the constitution and case laws that a ban on hijab amounts to infringement of her fundamental human right. Therefore law school cannot ban the hijab. It so unconstitutional.

And it is not about the wearing but about the harm it would cause. We should also revisit how the whole legal dress code is influenced by one religion.

safarigirl:
if you don't want to talk about something because you assume it is not youe business, that is you.

Don't impose your views in life on mW, I want to talk about someone wearing hijab to law school because she is wearing it to the Nigerian Law School, not to the Mosque. If anyone brought up payment of tithe in Law School, everyone would talk about it. If she was wearing her hijab in a mosque, nobody would care.

This is Law School, it is my business. It haff do mbok, dem kuku never call her back. If they did not call Kayode Bello, is it this one Law School will have time for? That place is a cult, dem no send anybody outside their cult.

BetaThings:


1. Are you a Muslim?
2. Please can you show me where the Qur'an says that?
3. Have Muslims interfered in the debate on tithe by Christians?

Quran says that a female child have to reach of age to decide wether she will wear hijab, hijab is arab dress code not Allah injuction, Arabs in the deserts had been wearing hijab before the coming of muhammed to protect their hair against desert dust and wind, male arabs also wear hijab even now.
Even some Arab muslim countries that understand koran more than black african muslims have ban the use of hijab because it cause female children to suffocate under high temperature and also causes smelling and menengities. The real Arabs muslims dont even allow this black African muslims to near the inner kaaba.

Sagay212:

You forgot to add that a true Muslim should terrorise people by strapping bombs around their waist and killing innocent people. A true Muslim should go about killing non Muslims which they consider infidels. You people are a serious menace to the world

You speak of menace. Do you know what menace is?

Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/pizarro-executes-last-inca-emperor

On November 16, Atahuallpa arrived at the meeting place with an escort of several thousand men, all apparently unarmed. Pizarro sent out a priest to exhort the emperor to accept the sovereignty of Christianityand Emperor Charles V., and Atahuallpa refused, flinging a Bible handed to him to the ground in disgust. Pizarro immediately ordered an attack. Buckling under an assault by the terrifying Spanish artillery, guns, and cavalry (all of which were alien to the Incas), thousands of Incas were slaughtered, and the emperor was captured .

About 20 members of the same family gathered together inside the family compound to watch the gory spectacle; [color=#000099]the continued trial of a young boy who had been sentenced to death.

Doctrine of Discovery

Papal Bulls of the 15th century gave Christian explorers the right to claim lands they "discovered" and lay claim to those lands for their Christian Monarchs. Any land that was not inhabited by Christians was available to be "discovered", claimed, and exploited. If the "pagan" inhabitants could be converted, they might be spared. If not, they could be enslaved or killed.

Spanish Inquisition

What followed was an era of severe censorship, paranoia, torture, autos-da-fé, death[b][/b], and the persecution of heretics or anyone who deliberately disagreed with the principles of the Catholic church lasting lasted until 1834.

This period became the most substantive of the three different manifestations of the wider Christian Inquisition along with the Roman Inquisition and Portuguese Inquisition. This Inquisition operated in Spain and in all Spanish colonies and territories, which included the Canary Islands, the Spanish Netherlands, the Kingdom of Naples, and all Spanish possessions in North, Central, and South America. The Inquisition was originally intent was to ensure the orthodoxy of those who converted from Judaism and Islam. Regulating the faith of the newly converted intensified after royal decrees issued in 1492 and 1501 ordered Jews and Muslims to convert or leave Spain.

Unclothing herself before strange men is sin. It is not a simple societal norm. It is a temptation to disobedience. Rebellion against useless man-made rules is necessary when the other option is to rebel against our Creator.

Your approach is the same one that Satan used to entice Adam and his wife to disobey God. Congratulations.

Unclothing bawo? was she told to use bikini?

Firdaus Amasa was not called to bar cos she refused to remove her hijab to conform to the standard of the profession of Law. Her case generated lots of reactions in social media as some quarters are it as preventing her from practicing her religion while some say she ought to know that the profession doesn't allow anything that doesn't go with its standards.

A Twitter user who was present during the happening said she and many others, Christians, muslims, young, old and even a policeman pleaded with her to remove the hijab, go for the call to bar then she can out it back on. She refused to listen to their please and even hurled insults at them. Other Muslim ladies removed their hijab before going in for their assessment. Some even begged her while a relative of hers tried to help her remove the hijab to which she refused. According to the twitter user, when they saw that their begging was falling on deaf ears, they let her be cos she was already becoming a laughing stock.

Tweets below.

I’m very positive she doesn’t know what an hijab is ? I will give a proper definition. The hijab is a head covering, generally a veil or a scarf, worn in public or in the presence of non-familial adult males by some Muslim women. The hijab is an often misunderstood religious and cultural symbol and custom.


One question madam hijab , was hijab on your head when they gave birth to you ? You were told about it and you want to disturb people? Your religion is your heart and not what you falsely put for us to see, be obedient that’s show a good traits of well thought religion.

so,now you accept Law School is public property and everyone has a stake in it?

So, why should the requirements of one section of the public create such drama? So, tomorrow the Christians in Law School will come up with some belief of theirs that they want implemented and we will have another round of arguments? Another time, traditionalists too, will talk their own and Law School will become a mad house because they allowed someone's religious beliefs prevail in a formal institution.

Very nice

That is the problem with muslim fanatics, you know the rules of your profession and you want to disobey it and muslims here a supporting her.
Why not go and study sharia, if other religions insist that they must wear their religious clothing how will law dress code look like.

This is what a true Muslim should be like, not those so called 'Muslims' who were begging her to disobey her Lord and creator for the sake of some smelling humans that are going to rot in the ground one day, but who seem to believe that their rules are superior to, and must supersede those of the Creator.

Ride on my sister, and may Allah grant you victory over the disbelievers and replace your law degree with what is far better. Lots of lawyers are begging for 'case' on the streets outside the courthouses, wearing worm-eaten okada suits. There is no assurance that your law degree alone would have even provided you with a source of income. At least maintain the fact that Allah's blessings is with you.

It is Allah Alone who provides worldly wealth.

[/b]Wonder why Nigerian muslims carry this hijab thing for their head as if they are more muslims than Islamic countries that ban the use of hijab[b].
Even the koran said that the use of hijab is optional and not compulsory but Nigerian muslims will tell you that hijab is Allah injunction whereass koran says it is optional not compulsion.

Please dong quote what you don't know ...okay? No where in the Quran is hijab optional .no Muslim country can also tell u that neither. Can and western country .hijab denotes covering ,right? So what nonsense are you stating ?

Although I am not a muslim but I can recite koran more than you because I was born in the north and I was thought koran by fulani muslim scholars.
It was there in koran that wearing of hijab is optional, it was never Allah directive to female muslims.Hijab wearing was in practice by Arabs before the coming of Muhammed.
It is you Nigeria muslims that is making hijab a big deal because of wahabi conservative lifestyle in Saudi Arabia that Nigeria sunni muslim was copying.

On the contrary, if I was a lawyer and was running a firm, I would not even need to look at her cv. She is automatically hired. I love her strength of character and conviction. As for her failure, that is not in her hands or the hands of the bar association. Go and see hungry lawyers like flies outside the courtrooms begging for N500 'affidavit' to obtain for you. Wealth is by the power of Allah Alone. As for 'success', it is only unbelievers who think that it can be measured by bank account or private jet. True success is in the hereafter not here and she is achieving that insha Allah.

I wish all Muslims were like her, instead of the vast ocean of dithering, ingratiating, apologetic majority that claim Islam today. Sincerely speaking, she is a heroine as far as I am concerned.

Akkord4gov:
I have a Muslim brother who graduated with a good grade in medicine but
couldn't find work for almost 3years. All interview were failure back to back
though he is extrememly intelligent. Mere seeing him,his dressing,his beard,u will
know,this man is a Muslim,a very good one.
After 3years of persuasion from people to clear the beard and do some
changes,he got a good job that year. And when he is sharing his experience
now,he used to appreciate those that persuade him,he used to say how he has
helped thousands of Muslim and how he has been fair if he is among panel to
recruit. whether u are Muslim or not,beard or not,he fight so the best can be
employed. He agreed that if he hasn't agreed to the persuasion,he wouldn't have
been able to help those Muslims. He talks alot that I won't share here because of
the sensitivity of religion in this Country. He talks of how other religion used to
help themselves and the reason for Muslims to buckle up
If he has the opportunity to advise this woman that day,though he is a Muslim
too,your guess is as good as mine
only the wise will understand
For me,about this issue,I don't have any comment,but if truly our constitution
gives room for it,y denying her her fundamental right,but if not,I think she
should have chosen to being a teacher then.
I am allergic to insult.lol. Don't quote me or ask me questions. My message can
only be clear to wise,smart and intelligent people.

This girl if wise like the brother above,can become someone who can make decision and modify rules and regulations in d future and even fight it that being Eleha cannot stop u from being a lawyer

not every fight we fight with words or aggressive, sometimes,we need to fight with common sense

your brother doesn't have the knowledge of he's doing.
go to oil companies you'll see brothers with thick beard working there not as assistant but Oga. he failed himself not ALlaah. Having beard doesn't determine your success
what would be would be, what would not be would not be even if you strive beyond your strength.
can't you see pple who doesn't have any formal education being wealthy, that shows compromising the religion would make you a better person in the society
so if someone marries and didn't bear fruit, will you say it's cos they didn't have sex? If it's sex that determines pregnancy, then every sexual act should lead to pregnancy. If your brother had been patient, ALlaah would bring forth for him something better than that and he would be rewarded for been patient. If the Prophet compromised the message, then nothing would be known as Islam today. As wretched as Abu Hurayrah was, ALlaah brought forth wealth for him at last, if the companions had the kind of attitudes we have for Islam today, then we won't be sending prayers to them today. so forget about the compromise your brother made due to his weak state of mind as standard
