India’s premier Muslim body the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind which was very jubilant after the Taliban took over Afghanistan again followed suit when it demanded that there should be separate schools for girls and boys, reports Times Now.
The powerful Islamic body not only wanted to end co-education among Muslim boys and girls but also said non-Muslims should also refrain from giving co-education to their daughters to “keep them away from immorality and misbehaviour” and during the meeting of the working committee of the Jamiat discussed the ways to reform society.
This parochial and misogynist statement was issued after the working committee meeting of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind led by Maulana Arshad Madani faction and urged influential and wealthy people to help construct separate schools for boys and girls in their respective areas.
Maulana Arshad Madani also claimed that no religion teaches immorality and obscenity and said, “Immorality and obscenity is not a teaching of any religion. It has been condemned in every religion of the world because these are the things that spread misbehaviour in the society. Therefore, we will also ask our non-Muslim brothers to refrain from giving co-education to their daughters to keep them away from immorality and misbehaviour, and to set up separate educational institutions for them,”.
