Senegal to ban the full-face veil amidst growing terror threat

Following the arrest of four imams accused of having ties to Boko Haram terrorist group, Senegal plans to ban women from wearing the full-face Islamic veil in public in an attempt to curb terrorism.

The move announced on Tuesday, November 17, by Interior Minister Abdoulaye Daouda, prohibits women from wearing burqas where only their eyes can be seen. Daouda says the law is not anti-Islamic as Senegal is a Muslim majority nation instead he says it's a question of national security.

Boko Haram has used suicide bombers hiding their explosives beneath loose clothing to carry out scores of attacks in Cameroon, Chad and Nigeria. An estimated 92% of Senegal’s population is Muslim. Although the country has not suffered a terrorist attack recently, authorities are concerned that the Islamic militant group Boko Haram may be trying to extend its range.

Its long overdue here in Nigeria too.These soft target killings are mostly perpetrated by girls in hijab.The banning should be taken by the Muslim folks in good faith oh coz the safety of our society must never be compromised for whatever reason

The whole world should ban this rubbish hijab. Look at the problems it has caused. Well done Senegal. Nigeria doesn't have the balls to do this

God bless anyone that initiated the idea in Senegal. The world is learning very fast! Senegal is more Islamists than Nigerian, but our holier than Dow attitude will not let us... Do ur religion, worship ur god, cover not more than ur head and hair in public QED

I can't explain why you swallow my comment

Nigeria will not do the same until half of them are dead! We like to react rather than use common sense on time. We will continue to play religion until is is almost useless to make amends.
