ISIS Bans Burqas: Islamic State Deems Hijab A Security Problem In Iraq

"Militant leaders banned burqas after a group of veiled women carried out attacks against several ISIS commanders, according to media reports Tuesday. Women wearing burqas will no longer be allowed to enter buildings in Mosul, an ISIS stronghold, while wearing the full-body covering. Instead, they must wear gloves and gauze to cover their eyes. ISIS' morality police will continue to require women to wear the burqa outside of Mosul's new security rule, the Jerusalem Post reported."

See? Even ISIS considers the burqa a security problem! Wow. Just. Wow.

But we already knew ISIS and France had a lot in common.

I'd like to acknowledge the women who made this possible, who are only a footnote in this story - the brave women who snuck into these security centers to blow up ISIS leaders. We don't know their names, but most likely they gave their lives to strike a blow at ISIS. Let's take a minute for them. There are Good ~~Terrorists~~ Freedom-Fighters, after all!

But before we've rejoiced over women's rights, nope - that's not about women's rights in the ISIS-controlled territories. Women continue to be treated like cattle there (hey, even the Decency Police that patrols Mosul consists of women). And no female is allowed to show their face from under the burqa in a public place. One can't help but wonder how do they get their vitamin D in those things...
