It is Sunday evening !.. Thought of going for a jog but I have to cancel it because my aunt is coming..

When I think about the issue that IIU defended its decision to compel non-Muslim women to wear headscarves at graduation ceremonies, after drawing criticism from student leaders and civil society groups. I totally agree with it should you complained about such things. You enrolled to that University so you bide by the rules. There are lots of other University u can choose. You do not want to follow the rules you are free to go. It is clearly stated an International ISLAMIC University. Such a silly thing to argue.



On the other hand, the IIU ruling is a separate matter altogether. IIU is an Islamic academic institution. It would be most unusual not to expect a dress code that would reflect the teachings of Islam. The self-sufficiency of educational institutions to impose rules on the dress code for their students must be respected. For the past 20 years, non-Muslim students who freely choose to enroll into any of its faculties knew this and duly complied with it.
