"content": "48 Tuesday 18th November, 2014 wearing Hijabs in school. Our society should condemn in equal measure those who are stripping girls and women in the streets because that cannot be tolerated. Honestly as a Muslim, if a woman dresses indecently, it is up to her. I am wondering what type of men those are because as a Muslim, I am not even allowed to touch her. So, why are they touching the ladies? What is wrong with those men? That was very bad and must be condemned. Our society is so rotten because if you watch those videos, and I was just watching them in my phone right now, you can see the place is surrounded by many men. The lady was desperately running for safety to them and nobody was concerned. So, you see the rot in society from the top to the bottom. So, I think it is high time our society evaluated itself and we really do the right thing. If we continue allowing this, next time I may be wearing a kanzu in town on a Friday and I may be confronted by some group of young men who are intolerant. This is because society has become intolerant. The society is decayed. When I wear a k anzu coming to Parliament, and you know I live in a place where there are no Muslims somewhere near Kileleshwa, I can even fear for my life that my kanzu can be stripped. So, this is very bad. I condemn those judges in the court who refuse to support young girls wearing Hijabs in schools, in Parliament and in the streets. People should be allowed to dress the way they want. This is very intolerant. Thank you very much."
