While people who oppose the wearing of facial coverings by Muslim women are routinely accused of Islamophobia, the Muslim-majority nation of Chad has not only banned such garments but ordered one variety, the burqa, burned.
“Wearing the burqa must stop immediately from today, not only in public places and schools but throughout the whole of the country,” said Prime Minister Kalzeube Pahimi Deubet, Chad’s ruler since 1990.
The central African country of 13.5 million people took this unprecedented step after at least two burqa-wearing suicide bombers, reportedly men in disguise, staged co-ordinated terrorist attacks in N’Djamena, Chad’s capital, last June 15. The targets were the city’s police headquarters and the police academy. The resulting carnage saw 38 people killed, including four terrorists, and dozens more wounded. Though no group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, Chadian authorities blame the Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram, based in nearby Nigeria.
ISIS has been known to burn a burqa or two. Usually there’s someone occupying it.
How on God’s green Earth can the nation of Chad – CHAD! – be more astute than America – and England – and France – and Germany – and Spain – and Canada?
It wobbles the mind.
That picture reminds me– must get the garbage bags out before 10 AM.
Can’t put them out any earlier because the Haitians will come by, rip ’em open, take the soda cans and leave a pile of shit for the town guys (American blacks) to clean up.
The ruler has been there since 1990…here it is 2015, what took them so long to decide?
Correction 34 people were killed and 4 sub human terrorist. It always bugs me when they include the ones that caused the deaths in the human total.
Boobie, maybe they should not burn the burkas until they do the right thing, of recycling and reusing and use them as trash bags.
They look like spooks
