Hindu Nursing Lecturer Hacked to Death for Not Wearing Hijab by Phyllis Chesler Breitbart January 12, 2015 Print Send RSS Share: Be the first of your friends to like this. The Islamists hacked her to death in broad daylight in Bangladesh and held the horrified onlookers at bay with firearms. On January 11, 2015, Anjali Devi, 57, was brutally murdered by a group of young men associated with Jamayat-e-Islami. She was a Hindu, living in Muslim-majority Bangladesh, an honored teacher of nursing at a medical college, a nurse who was concerned with proper hygiene for nurses. But the Islamist group Jamayat-e-Islami had issued a fatwa demanding that nurses wear hijab. By definition, doing so increases the risk of a nurse carrying a disease from one patient to another and violates operating room procedures. Bangladeshi daily newspaper The Independent reports that police are refusing to officially tie the attack to the group—"We are not pretty sure who the real assassin is, and the motive behind it (murder) is not clear yet."—but witnesses noted Devi's opposition to the hijab as the most likely reason for the murder. When it comes to adhering to Sharia law, Islamists in southeast and central Asia do not care about hygiene. They view this as tainted Western medicine, which dares defy Allah's will. In 2012, 2013, and 2014, aid workers were murdered for attempting to administer polio vaccines in neighboring Pakistan. » CONTINUE READING Related Topics:  Hijab & Burqa, Islamic Gender & Religious Apartheid, Jihad & Terrorism
