I am always so amazed how the niqab throws the muslims into such a tizzy.
Even if we were to assume that the niqab really is from culture, and doesnt have anything to do with Islam, so what? What difference does it make? We dont have a right to dress the way we want to?
I remember attending Jummah about a year ago here in USA. During the Khutba, he was talking about how the American government offered some millions in funding to Azhar if they propagate the image of Islam that THEY want propagated. It's all part of "the war on terror" lol. So is this really a such a surprise??
I seem to remember they also made a fatwa about women being permitted to wear trousers. Maybe in the future we will be able to count on Azhar to tell us that hijab isnt necessary either, its whats on the inside that is important. Dont be surprised.
