Islamic State bans burqas over security risk

The Islamic State group has reportedly banned women from wearing the burka at security centres in a city in northern Iraq.

The terror group’s so-called morality police have previously subjected women who refuse to wear the full-face veil to severe punishments and sometimes death.

Now Isis commanders have banned the wearing of the burka at their security centres in Mosul because a number of senior members have been killed by veiled women, according to Iran Front Page.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, women would be allowed to enter buildings in Mosul only if they are not wearing a burqa. This move comes amid recent attacks on ISIS militants by burqa-clad women.

Iran Front Page, citing a source for the Al Alam News Network, reports that women in the rest of Mosul, and in all other regions controlled by Isis, will still have to abide by the original dress code.

The removal of the burka has become something of a symbol of liberation for women in areas formerly held by Isis. Last month, women in the newly liberated Manbij, in Syria, were pictured burning the full-face veil and dancing around it.

The loss of Manbij to the American-backed Syrian Democratic Forces was significant due to the town’s importance in the transit of foreign jihadists and in the provision of food, drink and equipment from the border of Turkey.
