The Times newspaper on 21 April 2021, via its duped journalist Catherine Baksi, devoted a couple of stories in its Law Section featuring barristers wigs and the so-called Muslim female headscarf or hijab: "the religious veil worn by some Muslim women". Women like ... Islamic State pin-up Shamima Begum. Maryam Mir originates from the Indian sub-continent too and has recently made a video proclaiming that her faith "in Allah" made her design hijabs for female Muslim barristers at the Bar. But this ignoramus will never find anything in the Quran mandating the use of the garment. Nor will she find a single authentic, repeat: authentic - hadith (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad) requiring its use either. So much is confirmed by the late Sir Zaki Badawi, former senior imam at the Central London Mosque in Regents Park and dean of the Muslim College. (Read more on Dr Badawi below on this website). Does Maryam Mir seriously believe that by showing her hair in Court men will lose control of themselves and harass her? Does she not see every single day in London hundreds of women going about their business unhindered and left to peaceably walk along the street with their hair flowing in the wind? And how about the several Muslim women in her Chambers at Doughty Street who do not cover their hair? Maryam Mir views her luxuriant hair as a sexual appendage. She believes her fellow Muslim colleagues are lesser Muslims. Not as pious as her. Her secret belief is that God will punish these wayward Muslim girls who show their hair in public.
