The Pros And Cons Of Burqa Bans

The main people who called for the ban of the burqa discriminate against the Muslim religion. People should just ignore how women dress because their body is their business . They should just be left alone. Women The fact that they their banning the burqa and not others things for example face mask for the cold, is really idiotic because it also covers part of your face and they don't take as big problem. Women

In a similar sense of intolerance, the second justification that supports the ban is the protection of Muslim girls, who are vulnerable as members of a hierarchical tradition. So this ban forces them to ignore their religion when in school, yet, once again, the French only see Muslim headscarves as a negative aspect because they assume the girls are unwilling. Although, it is the duty of the state to intervene if a person may be compromised in their ability to make informed judgments about how they wish to live their life, however this is not the case with Muslim headscarves, as, according to Islam, the wearing of a headscarf is a completely voluntary act of religious observance, and thus it is the choice of the girls whether or not to wear it. Correspondingly, for many Muslim women, the headscarf signifies, not a position of oppression or submission, but

Banning the burqa is not the correct thing to do in this situation because it is only targeting one group of people, which is Muslim women. They say that they are not being racist while also labeling every woman who is wearing a burqa as dangerous, and wanting to identify them, so that they know exactly who the women are. When in all actuality the burqa is in some Muslim women's minds either a sign of respect, showing they strongly believe it is their religious obligation, or they were asked by their husbands ( not forced) to wear it because they believe their wife is for their eyes only. Although people are cautious of those who wear burqas they shouldn't ban it because then they would be bullying women into abandoning their religious traditions.

People have many opinions about whether Islamic women's burqas are a symbolization for oppression. However, this was an ad created by the International Society for Humans Rights in 2007 and it clearly shows the group's opinion on burqas. The ad shows a Islamic woman wearing a burqa, but with jail bars over her eyes to symbolize what they believe is her being oppressed.

The headscarf is an item of clothing that is worn by Turkish women for several reasons, not solely for religious practices. The scarf has a deep history behind it, stemming from the Ottoman influence on the Middle East. Since the beginning of the headscarf wearing, the framework of the headscarf has developed into many different ideals. Different groups of women wear the item for different purposes. Marlene Breau explains that the scarf can be

Hijab is mentioned in many different ways but, some of the most common names that are used are headscarf, veil or scarf. There’s various types of the hijabs and some of them are referred as Burqa (a long and loose garment covering the whole body from head to feet), Chador (cloth that is wrapped around the head and upper body leaving only the face) and Niqab (covers the whole face except the eyes). The headscarf is traditionally worn by Muslim women in the existence of adult male outside of their nearest family or in other words, women are not required to wear hijab in front of their “Mahram,” which include husband, brother, father, or uncles by blood (mom’s brothers and dad’s brothers). Furthermore, God in the Quran not only requires women to protect their modesty, but also mandates men to take care of their gaze, gait and their garments. There are multiple ways of discussing the topic of hijab such as it’s important for Muslim women, whether it’s imposed on Muslim women, Qur’anic views about the veil, obstacles related to hijab that Muslim women face in their daily life, misunderstood interpretation regarding the concept of head covering and the decision of those Muslim women who decide to not wear the veil etc. However, this essay will not focus on everything because my goal in this essay is to critically evaluate the articles regarding the difficulties that Muslim women face in public due to their decision to wear a headscarf and whether the hijab is imposed on Muslim

already is. Now focusing on the issue of women’s rights. All burqas need to be banned. Women can wear the hijab attire, which is actually mentioned in their Islamic Holy book. This will partially eliminate the enslavement on women. Also a public campaign should be spread, telling women to speak up about abuse and letting them know they can get help. Letting women know they don’t need to live in fear anymore can help their current mental health. A watch for abusive men and slavery like acts against women to prevent further isolation should also be put in place. Another issue is the children living in these third world countries. They are being brought up in war zones and in a place where they sleep with one eye open in fear of the Taliban. Outside

Two women wrapped in tedious dingy shapeless gowns walked near me. As if the gowns did not obscure enough, they masked their faces with a burqa. They were escorted by their brother, who wore shorts and a t-shirt, looking virtually naked beside them. Unfortunately, this is the raucous reality of millions of women in the middle east. You might be thinking, well some women choose to wear such clothing. But no it doesn 't just stop with the clothing it goes beyond this to issues such as child marriage, being persecuted for just voicing your views and to and death and abuse. Women 's rights in the middle east is an extremely grave and thriving controversy but it’s being buried down because no one seems to really care or do anything about it. I

The practice of veiling has been a topic of controversy amongst several Muslim and non-Muslim scholars (Ruby, 2006). The “new hijab phenomenon” originated in Cairo approximately two decades ago. Although not a common practice in Cairo, by the year 2000 over 80% of women adopted some form of veiling. The practice of veiling has also been embraced by several other Muslim societies around the world (Carvalho, 2013). The Western world has associated veiling as a form of oppression, gender inequality, and has been an object of pity and fear (Bullock, 2007 & Haleh, 2008). However, these stereotypes are not always reflective of the many who do wear it (Bullock, 2007).

In France of 2010, the French Parliament banned women from wearing burqas in public. French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, said “the burqa is not a religious issue… It is a question of freedom and women’s dignity.” When you look at someone the first thing you see is their face and the face is something you remember about somebody. French officials think it is not right for women to walk around with their faces covered up. Everyone has different perspectives of different religions and it is not right for people to judge other religions and say what other religions should and should not wear but there are other things religions can do instead of hiding their faces.

Quran gave the declaration to the woman to “draw their veils over their bosoms” (Quran, 24:31) which mean they have to cover their upper part include head but wearing naqab (face cover) or burqa is not necessary. They can wear anything as long as it is not see through and covering their whole body.

When discussing the topic of veiling, one must understand the original significance and the traditions behind it. Veiling is traced back to the Prophet Muhammad, who God had spoken to instructing his wives to create a barrier between themselves and those that didn’t relate to them. The Islamic veiling then developed from allowing men and women to show modesty per the Quran with many styles of veiling such as the Hijab, Chador-full cloak that covers the body and the hair, Niqab- covers the woman entirely with a small opening for the eyes, and the Burqa, which covers the head and the body and has a grill which covers the eyes, each style evolving on taking a cultural meaning with the origins of its religious right behind it. Signifying

The burqa and niqab symbolises one of the most powerful things in Islam for it has been made to conceive beauty and it is important in Islam, the decision is either made by the parents or the husband or it is a commitment made by the woman to officially convert herself fully to Islam in other places the women wear the face coverings after they get married

Some women under burqas are just like everyone else. They are not trying to cause harm whatsoever, just following their religion and personal decisions. Women are trying to live their lives like the rest of this society, but cannot due to this uproar. Some women believe that the burqa protects them from people harassing them. Other women said, because they

Ever since France introduced its so called “burqa ban” in 2011, there have been many cases involving the Muslim women who choose to wear these veils. Not only are understanding women being fined for their choice of dress, mainly the niqab, which leaves a slit for the eyes, but an increasing number of defendants are being tried for attacking them (Ramdani). The law only has affected a small number of women; out of an estimated 5 million Muslims living in France, only around 1,900 women were concerned by the ban in 2011 (Willsher). However, the ban has made Muslim women in full face veils, or niqab banned from any public activity including walking down the street, taking a bus, going to the shops or collecting their children from school.
