Sky News host Rita Panahi says New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s decision to don the hijab following the Christchurch massacre was ‘well-intended, but ill-considered and ignorant’.
Fifty people were killed when an Australian-born gunman opened fire at two Christchurch mosques on March 15, prompting Ms Ardern and other high-profile women to don the hijab in solidarity with Muslim victims and their families. Ms Panahi says women in some Muslim nations are being beaten and locked up for fighting against the hijab and ‘we have a responsibility as free women in the West to stand by our subjugated sisters rather than give comfort to their oppressors’.
