Sky News host Rita Panahi says New Zealand women who donned the hijab following the Christchurch massacre were ‘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 a slew of high-profile women to veil themselves in 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.
