Egypt telecom magnate sparks furore with veil comments
Yet another Christian moron makes his crass remarks about the hijab, or the veil in Islam.
Comments by Egyptian tycoon Naguib Sawiris on the Islamic headscarf have sparked a heated debate on freedom of speech and prompted a conservative sheikh to issue a fatwa urging Muslims to boycott Sawiris’ companies.
The businessman, who ranks among the world’s 100 richest men, had criticised the growing influence of religion, such as the Islamic hijab, or veil, worn by women in the street.
“I have the impression of being in Iran. I feel like a foreigner,” he said last month.
Naturally, it has sparked a backlash from the Muslims in Egypt. Kudos goes to our Muslim brothers and sisters in Egypt for standing up and rising against this outrageous comment.
