| [Ennahar] The streets of Algiers were invaded yesterday morning by a group of Muslim brothers, bearded fanatics, who were distributing leaflets to unveiled women and even those who wear a veil not complying with Islamic law. Such pamphlets entitled "The veil of the Muslim woman", treats women not wearing veils who reveal parts of their bodies, as Middle Aged women. These are young people aged between 25 and 40, wearing white, gray or brown Kamis, having well furnished beards. Scenes that reminded us of the era of Islamic salvation front (FIS), where the activists were harassing women in the street trying to force them to wear the Hijab. A young woman in Algiers wondered: "Is the FIS Back? " After a gap of more than two decades, the Salafists reappeared in the streets of the capital. Leaflets distributed to women, of which Ennahar has a copy, bears the title "The veil of the Muslim woman" by Sheikh 'Deifallah al Maliki, containing verses from the Koran and Hadiths of the Prophet (PBUH) dealing with the subject. |
