Children's Hijab sold in school-wear category 'facilitates medievalism'

Radio presenter and founder of the Quilliam Foundation Maajid Nawaz accused the store of ‘medievalism by selling children’s hijabs in the school-wear category’.

.@marksandspencer facilitates medievalism by selling children’s hijabs in the school-wear category. It’s their right to choose profit over values. But it’s our right to shame them for doing so.

Hijab is still imposed (only on women) by law in Iran and Saudi Arabia, and many other countries. This is gender apartheid. @marksandspencer are free to sell confederate flag tee-shirts too, but I bet they never will.

However, writer and blogger @azthebaz was quiick to point out Maajid’s ‘obsession’ with Hijabs and Muslim female attire.

Here is Maajid also previously calling the Niqab a 'monstrosity'

He said it deserves to be ridiculed i.e calling them letterboxes is fair game
