ISIS is now pitching against burqa in Iraq. Wait till you hear their reason

We, the audience of Bollywood movies, know how handy a burqa can come when a person wants to go under cover. This 'hoody' trick has made the ISIS sort of go back in their own words regarding the Islamic garb.

After rigorously imposing upon women the law to cover themselves with a burqa, the terror outfit has now banned the veil at their security centres in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.

Why is the ISIS banning the burqa?

Recently, the ISIS has lost several of their commanders at the hands of gun-wielding, burqa-clad people. The report also say many of their victims were escaping by covering themselves under a burqa.

After being hoodwinked in such ways, the ISIS came up with the decision of barring people wearing the veil in their security centres.

News website Iran Front Page is said to have been tipped about the ban by a source in Nineveh, Iraq.

So, women can now walk the streets of Iraq without a burqa?

Not according to the ISIS.

The ban only applies to the security centres. In the rest of Mosul and other Iraqi areas controlled by the ISIS, women are still expected to don the burqa.
