Nigerian shariah police block women's rally

WRite summary here BBC

Islamic authorities in the northern Nigerian city of Kano have told organisers of a planned protest by divorced women to cancel the event.

The head of the Sharia police, or Hisbah, said the planned protest was an "embarrassment", and is "un-Islamic".[...]

He also said the idea of street protests were "un-Islamic", and "morally wrong".

"Never in the history of Islam have women taken to the street to press for their demands," he said.
Since when are street protest "un-islamic"? For the past month all I've seen from the US all the way to Malaysia was muslim protesting the Gaza conflict.
