Kadyrov promised to kill anyone who tells his daughter to take off her hijab

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, has spoken out against women wearing a burqa that covers their faces. At the same time, he promised to personally shoot anyone who tells his daughter to take off her hijab.

“We have many guests of different faiths coming to visit us… We don’t care about their dress code, we care about the dress code of our residents. We call on… to wear headscarves. We are against the burqa that covers the face. But those who say not to wear hijabs are enemies of Islam. We are against this. Whoever tells my daughter to take off her hijab, I will kill them immediately,” Kadyrov said.

According to him, the Russian president has given them the opportunity to “live peacefully in friendship,” while “idlers who do nothing for the country run after a headscarf.” “We will stand up against these shaitans,” Kadyrov promised.
