JNI condemns persecution of Muslim women over hijab

Category: News Published on Thursday, 07 March 2013 05:00 Written by Ismail Mudashir, Kaduna

Jama’atu Nasril Islam yesterday rose from its annual central meeting in Kaduna condemning the persecution of Muslim women in some states for wearing hijab.

In a statement by its Secretary-General, Dr. Khalid Abubakar Aliyu said “Muslims are still being denied their constitutional rights to practice their religion unhindered and are even being persecuted in some instances as recently witnessed in some parts of the country.

“Bearing in mind the prevalence of ignorance in the Ummah and the existence of teeming population of non-Muslims that are ignorant about Islam, the meeting called on the JNI and other Islamic organisations to intensify and diversify their da’awah work and strategies,” he said.
