Ramzan Kadyrov criticized the head of the Ministry of education Olga Vasilyeva for the requirement to impose a ban on the wearing of headscarves in Russian schools. The head of Chechnya accused the Minister that she did not read the article of the Russian Constitution guaranteeing freedom of religion. This is reported by the Rambler/news with reference to the policy account in Instagram.
“Apparently, not all officials have read this article. The Minister of education Olga Vasilieva said: “the constitutional court decided that the hijab, like emphasizing national identity, has no place in school! So I think that this issue was decided by the Constitutional court… And I don’t think truly religious people attribute their attitude to the faith, we try to emphasize. It is my deep personal belief.” But COP this issue was not considered and no decision was made. Conclusions based on a non-existent solution, should be recognized as incorrect and misleading the citizens astray,” — wrote Kadyrov.
The Russian Constitution “everyone is guaranteed freedom of conscience, freedom of religion <…>, to choose, possess and disseminate religious and other convictions and act in accordance with them” (Chapter 2, article 28). Apparently, not all officials have read this article. The Minister of education of the Russian Federation Olga Vasilieva said: “the constitutional court decided that the hijab, like emphasizing national identity, has no place in school! So I think that this issue was decided by the Constitutional court… And I don’t think truly religious people attribute their attitude to the faith, we try to emphasize. It is my deep personal belief.” But the constitutional court this issue was not considered and no decision was made. Conclusions based on a non-existent solution, should be recognized as incorrect and misleading the citizens of Russia astray. The scarf is not paraphernalia, but the important part of clothing Muslim women wear which is prescribed by Allah and the Prophet (s.a.in.). Vasilyeva has the right to Express their “personal belief”, but it remains its opinion and does not take the force of law. It is surprising that the Minister instead of to improve their local leaders, their “PERSONAL BELIEF” imposes on millions of citizens. My three daughters go to school wearing the hijab, have great grades. Olga Vasilyeva requires that they handkerchiefs? Girls this will never do. Should I pick them up from school and together with them to find a place where they will allow girls to be a Muslim? In the struggle with the enemies of Russia, which guarantees the rights of 30 million Muslims, I have lost hundreds of relatives to me people. I am convinced that the theme of the handkerchiefs is tossed to divert attention from the real problems of the school. Drug abuse, alcoholism, crime and systematic abuse of teachers on sexual integrity of children… that’s what should concern all who are fighting with the hijab. Examine the role of Islam in the development of world science. Chemistry, physics, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, geography, philosophy, agriculture, linguistics… Achievements of Islam in these areas are known worldwide. Therefore, you should not try to pour water on the mill of those who are interested in the split in Russian society, provoking resonant conflict situations! #Kadyrov #Russia #Chechnya #Hide
Kadyrov said that “the headscarf is an important part of clothing Muslim women”. Vasilyeva, according to the head of the region, have the right to Express his personal opinion, however it does not have the force of law. Kadyrov was surprised that the Minister imposes his belief to millions of Russian citizens.
“My three daughters in school, wearing the hijab, have great grades. Olga Vasilyeva requires that they handkerchiefs? Girls this will never do. Should I pick them up from school and together with them to find a place where they will allow girls to be a Muslim?”, — wrote the head of Chechnya.
Kadyrov also noted that the theme of the handkerchiefs is used by politicians in order to divert attention from the real problems in education. Earlier, the Minister of education Olga Vasilyeva said that students should not emphasize their belonging to the religion by using attributes.
