Azerbaijan police clashed with demonstrators protesting against the ban on wearing headscarves in state schools, Press TV report. By batons, police raided a number of protesters who had gathered outside the Ministry of Education on Friday (5/10) in the capital, Baku.
The demonstrators called for the elimination of a government ban on the veil in Islamic schools. They chanted slogans such as "Stop Islamophobia" and "Islam will win."
About 70 people were arrested, and many more wounded in clashes between security forces and protesters. Azerbaijan is a Muslim majority state with a deep Islamic traditions, but in 2009, the government officially banned the wearing hijab for girls in school.
The decision has angered the Muslim-majority country, which amounts to about 98 percent of the population, and has led protests demanding an end to government actions that are anti-Islam.
A natural thing, when the ban happened in Western countries may be understood as the majority of non-Muslims, even if they violate their own ideas such as freedom and human rights. But it is very strange that the ban occurred in Muslim-majority countries.
Today, the ideas of secularism, the idea of separation of religion from life gripping Muslims. Of course it will be different when the Khilafah is established. Khilafah that will maintain and restore the honor of women in the perfection of God's rules
