Let Muslim Women Wear Hijab

To:  All Freedom Loving People

Appeal to all MANKIND. All fellow humans, who believe in freedom of expression. Ms. Mary Robinson, Chairperson Human Rights Commission. Mr. Kofi Anan, United Nations Secretary General and Government of Turkey.

The government in Turkey is not secular, its dictatorship. I do not have problem with secularism, but let people express themselves. Here is America and other European countries Muslim women wear Hijab and cover their heads. Turkish government cannot enforce a particular belief on to its population. That is against basic Human rights violations. Below is an excerpt from a Turkish Citizen.

Please sign the petition, for Government of Turkey to let their people express themselves. If some one wants to cover their heads, let them be.

From the lands of Muhammed Al-Faateh, the land of Islaam Bol (Istanbul).

Every day, while I am on my way to work, I see a sight that breaks my heart. I see young girls waiting at the gates of the school, arriving every day, never missing a day in this freezing cold weather, while they know that they will not be allowed to enter the school...all this due to their wearing hijab.

This sight has been repeated numerous times in the past years, but only in front of the universities, but now this has spread to the high schools (secondary schools), ...and it does not stop here. This usually is followed by the arrival of the anti-riot police who begin to push and strike these young women to break up the crowd, and many are taken to the police station.

And I look at some of these young girls, while they look to the sky crying, as if saying: "Oh, Allah...oh Allah...save us from this darkness! All this just because we wear Hijab? Is there no-one to defend us? Do we not have the right to live as you have ordered us? Do we not have the right to complete our studies same as all other schools? Why all this oppression..oh Allah?"

I remind you brothers and sisters that this land was the last capital of the Islamic State, and this sight was never a possibility while it existed. Palestine is not our only problem...Jihad is only one of our obligations...protecting these poor sisters is another...and there are many others.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
