We’re told that Belgium is Islamophobic for banning the burkha! That France is Islamophobic for banning the burkha! But now that meme has been upset because – are you ready? – Syria has banned the burkha.
YNetNews.com has the unexpected news:
The Syrian minister of higher education has prohibited the entrance of veiled female students into universities and colleges throughout the country, news agencies reported Sunday.
Dr. Ghitath Barakat explained that the donning of face veils, which cover everything but the woman’s eyes, “opposes the morals and values of the academy”.
Barakat’s decree followed similar ones approved by a number of European parliaments, including Belgium and France.
Racists! Those damn Syrians are racists. Evil, Islamophobic racists.
