Tajikistan, a predominantly Muslim country, has taken a controversial stance by passing a law banning the hijab and certain Islamic holiday celebrations, despite 96% of its population identifying as Muslim. President Emomali Rahmon approved the bill, which labels the hijab an “alien garment“ and imposes hefty fines on offenders. The legislation, aimed at promoting a secular national identity, also prohibits the practice of “Idi,“ where children seek money during Islamic festivals. Sulaiman Davlatzoda, Head of the Religion Committee, justified the ban on “Idi“ as a measure to ensure “proper education and ensuring their safety during Ramadan and Eid al-Adha.“ This move has sparked international criticism, with Corey Saylor of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) stating, “Banning the hijab is a violation of religious freedom, and such bans on religious attire should have no place in any nation that respects the rights of its people.“ The ban reflects a growing trend among some Muslim-majority countries in Central Asia and Eastern Europe to restrict Islamic garments in public spaces, contrasting sharply with countries like Iran and Afghanistan that mandate hijab use. 📗 Get my best-selling book “Why There Is No God“ for FREE: 💕 Support Atheist Republic on PayPal: 💥 Contact Armin for live discussions: ✊ Volunteer in our team 🎨 Get our FREE Blasphemous Art 👉 Be an Atheist Republic patron on Patreon: 📧 Subscribe to our Newsletter: 🔓 Get NordVPN at a huge discount: 👕 Buy Atheist Republic merch: 📮 To donate by check, please make your check payable to ‘Atheist Republic’ and send it to: Atheist Republic, PO Box #69, Daly City, CA 94016 🤫 We also have crypto wallets for people who want to donate anonymously: 🔔 Don’t forget to Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Follow Atheist Republic ⭐ Facebook: ⭐ Twitter: ⭐ Instagram: ⭐ Website: ⭐ Discord: ⭐ Twitch: Follow Susanna (Atheist Republic CEO, Ex-Christian, Ex-Catholic, Ex-Antifa) ⭐ Instagram: Follow Armin Navabi (Atheist Republic Founder, Ex-Muslim, Ex-Shia) ⭐ Instagram: ⭐ Twitter: ⭐ Facebook: ⭐ YouTube: The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic. #Atheism #Secularism #Religion
