The Crux of the Middle East and Global Crisis
I came across an article against the ban of Niqab or Burqua written by young Islamic Research student based in Sri Lanka, she claims that Sri Lankan government is trivializing the problem in hand by placing the ban on particular attire without any proper research. Actually ban has been imposed on anybody who covers their face irrespective religion or gender, not particular to any attire.
I quote some of her argument,
“ A victory indeed for both anti-Muslims voices as well as to many within the Muslim community seeking audibly amputate themselves from a supposedly dated form of Islam - one that they claim has no bearing to inherent Muslim identity. A view that that discards the notion that any religious or ethnic identity is fluid, influx, subject to constant evolution.” quote end.
True, but any respectable ethnic community would like to preserve their cultural traditions ardently for centuries, and by the same perseverance retains or claims the Ethnic Identity, so as to Sinhalese, Tamil Hindus, Tamil Muslims, etc, and the attire reflects their ardent identity further. Muslims in Sri Lanka has been wearing, Saarie, Salwarkamis, jeans and have been respectfully devoted to Islam, than now, until a few house maids arrived in Sri Lanka, attiring the Niqab, Burqua, or Hijab, whatever it is, either just copied or forcefully by their pay master family, and when number of migrant workforce returning increased, wearing of - Full Body Face Cover (FBFC) whatever the name it is, also increased; but majority (rather than many as claimed by author herself) of Sri Lankan Muslims still adhered to the conventional South East Asian dresses, than of in-fluxing Middle East style of dressing. If Adhering to or calling for conventional nation-style of attiring does mean amputation from supposedly dated form of Islam, then calling for dressing the FBFC dresses as well , becomes a notion of fundamentalism.
Those, Full Body Face Cover (FBFC) dresses are more suitable, for the Central Asian climatic condition, where sand dune deserts of high temperature, and markedly less air-moisture or very low humidity belt of area, that hurtfully stings the skin of the body, and Prophet Mohamed has not missed the scientific reasoning of Full Body Face Cover (FBFC) dresses, attracted many to follow him by mentioning it in Holy Quran, irrespective of dictated by All mighty Allah or by revelations.
The climatic zone that warrants the attiring of FBFC for both genders stretches from the west African Algerian desert and traverse through Middle East up to Indus river border of Afghanistan in the East, the same stretch Religion of Islam itself stretched originally. But what Prophet Mohamed could not foresee at that time of his revelations (600 to 632)AD was, such FBFC dress code could induct Deficiency of Vitamins A and D within this population of covering whole body against the Sunlight exposure to the body, this and related fallout are indeed a Medical Concern, particularly for the deprived within the above said region., either he could not foresee was his wordings would be used to bring back barbaric activities after 1600 years.

Thus local Muslim need not copy or forcefully as of religious demand for the FBFC dress code, and have to be blessed to have born out of desert corridor of Central Asia, without sunburn concerns, get sufficient vitamins to your body as well as get rid of some carcinogens from the face and body by directly exposing to sunlight; the extend of constant exposure have to be decided by the each individual irrespective of ethnicity, religion and cast, but within demanded by the Law. If we try to follow the 600 AD document just as word to word as of religious demand, it is nothing sort of fundamentalism. I beg the apology, of Islamist, for calling the Highly Venerable Al-Quran as of 600 AD document, only ordinary documents are translated according to whims and fancies of individuals, that is the crux of the problem today.
Supposedly Dated form of Islam and Other Sects of Islam
Initially, there was a mistrust of custodians of the Quran revelation and that it self sprang some sects in the early stages and stayed divided.
A human or god should have reasons for their action other wise they are insane, likewise Allah or Prophet Mohamed could not be insane to have produced a highly venerable chronicle of way to live without any reason.
Thus Allah and Prophet Mohamed acted upon to harness the divided section of people at that period into one umbrella -(Sura1) period of uncivilized, tribalism within sects people, fighting to each other for dominance one against other using whatever the weapon thy could make kill one another, drank whatever sedated them, no control whatsoever. Therefore the Holy Quran was created, what should have been respected globally, has now become some scrutiny for insanity by influx of numerous misinterpretations and just physical direct translations according to whims and fancies of some individuals and attempting to live that translations by dying instead of living by the guide - by some lunatic organizations that are demolishing away the objectives of Allah and Prophet Mohamed, and have brought back the barbarism to live. These organizations are demolishing their own than than of others. Such influx into Islam or rather into cross section of Islamist is the crux problem within Middle East as well as Globally today. I wish all the Islamist willfully fulfill their Ramadan Fasting with ease and smoothness for next forty days from today for All Mighty Allah to Bless them and Guide for prosperity.
Coming back to the article of May 3rd 2019 Weekend Express of Shaahima Raashid, Quote
“No eyewitness report nor CCTV footage showed that any of the suicide bombers from any of the coordinated attacks across the country were on the day wearing the Niqab/ burqua/ chador at the time inflicting the terror. The men were in fact dressed in men’s attire with faces completely exposed. It might serve to add here also that they weren’t dressed in traditional Muslim man garb either. How then did the face veiling Muslim women get pushed under the bus as most identified sign of radicalism” Quote end
This is a very weak argument - At the time of inflicting the terror, - no robber declare himself robber just about to rob - easily would have been a strict order from the hierarchy to not blow up the identity before blowing up or completing the target. All women suicides in this particular incident occurred within their residing places or by accidental detonating, isn’t the above argument notions that black Burqua wearers doesn’t change the clothes - or seldom changes it even in home? Thus there can’t be any absurdity in the call by security forces to which the author had laid lot of praise for speedy action despite bureaucratic deterrents.
If Prophet Mohamed had advocated for avoiding opposite gender attraction in Al-Quran as suggested by many interpreters and if those unattractive attires are Niqab/ burqua/ chador, these will not bulge out at insidious objects, whereas Saary , or Salwarkamis or Jeans are capable of clearing any suspicions of same security nature arise, thus ban on those attires capable of hiding without any objects is not marginalization of Muslim women - but avoiding security compromise.
IS terrorism is for improper translation and very un-propotionate thinking that couldn’t have been achieved even during Prophet Mohamed’s period.
