Secular Fundamentalism In Turkey - A message from Istanbul

Assalamu Alaykum,

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.

Please see the pictures below...Subhan Allah...unbelievable...just for
wearing Hijab.
