 Print This Posthttp://globalmbreport.com/?p=2119 Irish media is reporting on statements by Irish Muslim Brotherhood leaders saying that a ban on face veils violates personal freedoms. According to a report in the Irish Times:

THE IRISH Council of Imams, a group which represents Muslims living in Ireland, has spoken out against attempts to ban the niqab elsewhere in Europe and called on members of the religion to contribute positively to the societies in which they are living. The council said that a ban on the niqab – a veil worn by Muslim women that covers everything except the eyes – violates personal freedoms guaranteed by democratic systems. It added that such bans also constitute an obstacle to multiculturalism, integration and human rights. Its comments come following moves by governments in several countries to restrict the wearing of niqabs. The council’s secretary general Ali Selim told The Irish Times the decision to issue a statement on the wearing of the niqab followed on from widespread media attention on the issue. “While there is no problem with the niqab in Ireland, it is something which is being debated in many places right now,” said Mr Selim. The Irish Council of Imams, which represents 14 imams and includes those from Sunni and Shia traditions, also called on Muslims living in Europe, and in particular in Ireland, to contribute to the societies where they live and seek to integrate in a way that enables them to preserve their identity.
