Muslim Women Wear Burqa Dbq

A burkini is a fully covered bathing suit that Muslim women tend to wear to the beach. In Islam, women prefer to cover up for modesty. However, if you wear it you will be fined and escorted off the beach in France. This rule was in placed after the attack on Nice in France. The ruling sparks anything that looks remotely in Middle Eastern culture or belief is associated with threatening. In Smith’s work under the third pillar of Orientalism/War by being from one of those nations you’re viewed as foreign and threatening. There is nothing threatening about wanting to cover up while being at a beach. The gender (female), race (Middle Eastern descent) are explicitly targeted. In addition, there was a video posted a few weeks ago of the French ambassador saying colonialism was just France wanting to share its culture with other nations. By saying this it takes all the horrifying aspects of colonialism and downgrades it to just sharing ideas. This video shows how the French viewed their society as superior to the people they

Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, said earlier this year that the full veil, such as the niqab or the burqa, "hurts the dignity of women and is not acceptable in French society" (Aljazeera). In opposition to the critics' argument, Alveena Malik, a former faith adviser to the last Labour government , believes, Britain needs to take a different direction from others in Europe and to accept the veil as part of a modern British way of life(Ross). She also believes that the religious practice of the Islamic face veil should be a fundamental right. By giving Muslims the fundamental right of practicing their religion, it would give them the right to express their freedom and religion. If Britain decided to deprive the Muslims of their fundamental right like France did, then Britain would be trying to force the Muslims that participate in wearing the Islamic face veil to conform to their society like France as well. The government says that the reason for the ban on the Islamic face veil is because of security and the values or beliefs of the country in which the Muslims reside in. For instance: France says that the ban may cause France to be a target of terrorism. If France is concerned about the security of the citizens and knows that banning the Islamic face veil would cause a potential problem of terrorism, it seems like France would

Since the incident of 9/11 occurred, many people have debated over the Muslim faith and its practices. Muslim extremist groups such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS have affected the name of Islam causing majority of Muslims to be blamed. Recently, a tragic event that occurred in Paris killing over a hundred people left the people of France shaken with fear and anger. These events have lead to an increasing amount of hate and tension towards Muslims all over the world from protests at mosques, where Muslims go to pray, and anti-Muslim rally’s. Islamophobia is a massive issue that has steered European counties like France to enforce laws that ban religious garments that Muslims wear such as the niqab and burqa. Some people perceive these garments to be

The anticipated law, whose purpose is to ban the use of the burqa and veil, finally took place in France. The ban started within school, and expanded into a restriction within the entire country. France drew international attention, questions, and opinions on the justification of this new law. Even though France’s main response to their justification of the ban is to preserve the French culture, the law also positively addresses other problems such as: religious freedom, public safety, and women’s rights.

. The wearing of burqa has become contested in European nations for reasons of security and identification but also as a challenge to women's rights from both sides of the fence . Opponents argue that it is from an oppressive patriarchal culture that makes women cover up, though for many Muslim women they feel it is their choice to wear it for religious reasons and stopping them doing so is impacting their rights. Groups both in the West and those that oppose the west have presented ideas about the nature of Muslims to support their cause, this comprising of being highly aggressive, opposed to liberty,unafraid of death being prepared to go to any lengths to achieve their objectives. These ideas mean immigration within the west has become highly contested especially since the recession for economic , social and security reasons, and a fear about immigrants has been created that is not beneficial to moving forward . An article in the Sydney Morning Herald (Australia) polled attitudes towards muslims and found that they were more favourable when groups met and discussed their points of view, they found that it led to a greater understanding and reduced

Banning the burqa has become increasingly deliberate since 2011 in France. The burqa ban is also known as a ban that is against women wearing all face coverings while out in public places in France. On April 11, 2011 the ban of the burqa went into effect. There has, however, been much debate on this matter. Women think that the ban is discrimination to them, but on the other end, France believes that it will be a good thing for the country and the violence in the country. This ban was taken into court by an Islamic woman, who would only go by the name of S.A.S. This ban actually prevents the women from being abused and will help with the safety around the community. This ban was not meant to be discriminating or take any religious freedoms. Based off of evidence, France, the Defendant of the case has the right to ban the burqa from wear because of safety reasons.

The banning of the burqa has become an issue in many places, including France. The French Parliament has decided it is time to ban the burqa in public. They believe is a sign of the subjugation and submission of women to males. Some believe it is used to cover up abuse and they also believe it is unfair to the public that citizens cannot see the women’s faces. However it is unfair for these women to be banned from wearing what they choose as just everyone else does.The banning of the burqa should not be allowed because it is discriminatory towards Muslim women and violates their freedom of religion and their freedom to express themselves.

Women were forced to wear this dress to keep from committing impropriety but if men committed an act of impropriety nothing would be done about it like it would have been done with women. The claim was that the burka kept men from looking at a woman in an inappropriate way. Whereas, in reality it just kept women in the control of their male counterparts.

A nun can be covered from head to toe in order to devote herself to god. But when a Muslim woman does the same she is being oppressed. It may be argued that wearing a burqa benefits only a few and brings more harm than good to society. The real question is who does it harm? That should be the basis for banning this piece of clothing, not one based on fear or an arguably feeble argument that the women do not have a choice. To say that a ban on a specific item like this is undemocratic is an understatement. Following the French senate’s unanimous vote in favour of banning the burqa in late 2010, many European and western countries including Belgium and Spain have made the decision to take the

The banning of the burqa would simply strip them of their basic human rights to freedom of religion and expression. France is one country who have banned the Burqa arguing that women who wear the burqa

Afghanistan struggles socially because girls can’t get a good education then they aren't any better for the real world, and Girls not getting an education is bad for them because they will never know what's right and what's wrong and they wouldn't know how to read and write, they would have to rely on the boys all the time to teach them. When the women are outside they have to wear Burqas to be modest and sometimes they trip over them because they are so long.

Even during through the worse of times, one cannot deny the purest of human emotions, which is love. In this case, Samuel Aranda’s photograph captured the moment in which Fatima finds her son Amid wounded, but alive. As a loving mother, she searched for her son among through the dead, the wounded during the worse of Yemen’s war and when she finally found him, her reaction was simply to hold him and let him know she was in mama’s arms and loving care.

We think we can impose our own beliefs on others that do not share them, such as this problem of arresting Muslim women's for a wearing burkini to the beach (Quinn, B. (2016, August 23). French police make woman remove clothing on Nice beach following burkini ban. Retrieved June 18, 2017 ). A Muslim woman in France was at a beach supposedly to be wearing a burkini and witnesses say, 3 Police Officers came to have the woman remove her burkini due to the controversial bans on burkinis. See how we are enforcing our beliefs of burkini not being allowed because they are weird and also not a normal thing to see, ruined a woman's time at the beach but also caused her to pay money. People at that beach thought the women was a bad person due to the

When I was introduced to the topic of France’s ban on the veil, I disagreed with the law. I took a position based on my customs as an American citizen, which differs completely from those of France. International critics began to argue that France is violating what people call “Freedom of Religion,” which I agreed with at first. As a foreigner from America, I am accustomed to the American government’s definition of freedom of religion. Protected by the First Amendment, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise.” (Religious Freedom). You can express your religion in public, during church, mass, or religious meetings. So the presence of religious items such as the burqa's and veil do not disturb the people or government.

In her autobiographical comic Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi, within the first five pages of the book, tells the reader that she was born with religion. She immediately explains (in regards to the Islamic practice of veiling) that “I really didn’t know what to think about the veil. Deep down I was very religious but as a family we were very modern and avant-garde” (Persepolis, 2003, pg. 6). For western feminists, this ambivalence towards the veil has been a common topic of discourse. In secularized western countries, the veil is often viewed as a symbol of patriarchal oppression. In France (where Satrapi currently lives), for example, there have been numerous laws banning different forms of the veil (such as the burka and the niqab) with many critics, such as former French president Nicolas Sarkozy, arguing that they are “oppressive” and “not welcome” in France (“The Islamic veil across Europe,” 2014, pg. 1). This is the western view of the veil, but what do Muslim women think of the veil and the fundamentalist values that westerners often associate with it?
