Syria bans face veils at universities
Veiled women in Damascus, Syria (file image) Wearing the full veil has caused
controversy in Europe and the Middle East
Female students wearing a full face veil will be barred from Syrian university
campuses, the country's minister of higher education has said.
Ghiyath Barakat was reported to have said that the practice ran counter to the
academic values and traditions of Syrian universities.
His ruling, published on the All4Syria website, was said to be in response to
requests from students and parents.
The issue of full face veils has caused controversy in other countries.
In 2009, Egypt's then foremost Muslim cleric, Sheikh Mohammed Sayed Tantawi,
barred female students from wearing the full-face veil at the al-Azhar
University, Sunni Islam's centre of learning and scholarship.
He also upset other Muslim scholars by saying French Muslims should obey any
law that France might enact banning the veil.
Earlier this month, France's lower house of parliament overwhelmingly approved
a bill that would ban wearing the Islamic full veil in public.
It must be ratified by the Senate in September to become law.
Belgium's lower house of parliament has also passed a bill to ban clothing that
hides a person's identity in public places, although it does not specifically
refer to full-face Islamic veils.
