Al-Azhar Says Hijab Ban in Spain’s School Racist
TEHRAN (IQNA) – Egypt’s Al-Azhar Islamic Center described the decision by a school in Spain to ban hijab as a racist act.
The Islamophobia Watch Office of Al-Azhar condemned the decision by the school to bar a Muslim student from wearing hijab and threatening her of expulsion in case of wearing hijab, Arabi21 website reported.
It said such moves are racist and a threat to social cohesion and peaceful coexistence.
According to Periodico CLM, a rally was held in support of the Muslim student in the city where the school is located.
The participants carried banners and chanted slogans against anti-Muslim discrimination.
The school has not changed its decision despite the protests.
