Interesting report I had not heard before in an Al-Arabiya story about efforts to ban the burka in France.
Islamic scholars have repeatedly said the burka is not obligatory in Islam and in June Egypt’s Grand Imam Sheikh Mohammad Tantawi reacted to Sarkozy’s comments by saying “every state had a right to ban the face veil.”
Surprised to see this pointed withdrawal of support, coming at this time.
