China bans burqas, abnormal beards in Muslim province of Xinjiang
China, on Friday banned burqas, veils and abnormal beards in a Muslim province claiming that it is a crackdown on religious extremism.
As per the Independent, the measures also forced people to watch state television, follow decades of ethnic and religious discrimination against Xinjiang’s 10 million-strong ethic Uyghur population. The new regulation, which will come to force from today, will dissuade women, who fully cover their faces and bodies, from entering the airports, railway stations and other public places and report about them to police.
Apart from this, they also prohibit the abnormal growing of beards and it would be forbidden to reject or refuse radio, television and other public facilities and services.
The regulation restrains marrying using religious not legal procedures and using the name of Halal to meddle in the secular life of others. The document also bans not allowing children to attend regular school, not abiding by family planning policies and deliberately damaging legal documents.
London attacker interested in jihad but no evidence of ISIS link : Police
London : British police said on Monday they had found no evidence that Khalid Masood, who killed four people in an attack on Britain`s parliament last week, had any association with Islamic State or al Qaeda, but he was clearly interested in jihad.
Neil Basu, senior national coordinator for UK counter-terrorism policing, also said there was no evidence that Masood had been radicalised in prison in 2003 and it was pure speculation to suggest that had happened.
“His attack method appears to be based on low sophistication, low tech, low cost techniques copied from other attacks, and echo the rhetoric of IS leaders in terms of methodology and attacking police and civilians, but at this stage I have no evidence he discussed this with others,” Basu said in a statement.
