Advantages And Disadvantages Of Wearing Burqas

716 Words3 Pages

Argumentative Essay Everyone should be able to dress the way they want. If a woman wants to cover herself then she should have the freedom to do so but with some limits. They should not be able to wear burqas in official building or schools along with metros, airports, and harbors. But everywhere else they should be able to wear what they please. The first reason of my choice or opinion is, women along with men should be free to dress the way they want. Not just because it is a religious thing but if they feel like they should to cover themselves then so be it. Who are we to stop them? Many Muslim women cover themselves to hide from the unwanted advances of men. Others get a feeling of safety while wearing it, it makes them feel safe and secure like they are in a personal bubble isolated from the chaos of the world. I think there should be some limitations on the wearing of the burqas due to safety precautions. To enter an official building they should have to show their face so we can know they are incase something happens. The same reason applies for metros, airports, and harbors. The reason for this is that if someone walks into an official building or airport and commit an act of terror and we can not see who did it because they were covering their face. This does not Todd …show more content…

Once again who are we to say no? Who are we to stop them from their choice or duty? Who are we to think that we are superior and can ban them from their duty to their God while fulfilling our duties to

  • The Niqab In Canada

    Although Canada is one of the world’s most multicultural nations and is regarded as a leader in democracy, it has systematically targeted and excluded Muslim women from participating in their political freedom. Through the examination of the Niqab in Canadian society this essay will explore ways Muslim women have been “othered” in Canadian Society specifically concerned with the potential Niqab ban. A ban on the Niqab challenges and undermines the constitutional rights of Canadian Muslim women across Canada. A ban on the Niqab further segregates and excludes Canadian Muslim Woman, which in result incites a slur of negative outcomes.

    The 1st Amendment states Freedom of Religion. I personally think that if it is for that persons religious rights then they should not have to take it off. Now if they are suspected for having something hidden under it than that manager or employee of whatever should politely ask them to show under the burqa, if it is ok then they should be able to wear it, if it is not ok then they should be reported to the police and/or held captive until Police get there. There is also a negative part if the person wearing it clearly has something under it such as a bomb then they should not be able to wear it. Terrorist attacks happen, because there are people out there who are hiding bombs and other weapons under their burqa.

  • Reza Shah Dbq

    In 1939, Reza Shah’s unveiling declaration sparked a worldwide debate as to what the veil actually symbolizes. Ever since the beginning of Islam, women throughout the Islamic world have had to adopt the hijab as part of their cultural and religious attire due to various interpretations of the Islamic dress code. In addition, the Koran emphasizes purity in the name of Islam by asking both men and women to be modest when it comes to the way they dress. Furthermore, in his efforts to modernize Iran, Reza Shah failed to satisfy the needs of his people, as he gave women no say in what they could and could not wear in public. This eventually resulted in the division of Iranian women, as there were those who favored the Islamic tradition, and those who supported the regime and its adoption of Western values.

    The aspect most concerning in this question is, is it reasonable to limit certain religious articles. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms under Equality Rights, in Section 15. (1), shows us that this is not a reasonable request as it is unacceptable to discriminate against someone because of their religion. Some may question that it is a safety reason, so they want to prohibit certain religious articles, for instance the burqa. Using the same logic, the society must also consider catholic nuns; they could also be considered a safety concern because they are covered in the same

    To Lughod, this is liberating for women (Do Muslim Women Need Saving? Lughod, 36). Lughod also argues that the veil (i.e. Burqa, niqab etc.) is an appropriate form of dress for the societies in which these women live because it ‘protects’ women from unwanted sexual advances from nonrelative males. Lazreg, on the other hand, believes that women in the West, such as Lughod, romanticize the veil, and that the “glorification of the veil overlooks the experiences of women who have…been socialized into concealing their bodies, and made the veil part of their persona” (Lazreg, Why Women Should Not Wear the Veil, pg. 102). Lazreg is making the argument that Muslim women have been socialized into the politics of the veil and has allowed it to define their piety as

  • Tamira Stephens Perception Of The Muslim Veil In The United States

    While I previously viewed the Muslim form of veiling as misogynistic and compulsory; however, Tamira Stephens describes that certain American Muslims see it as empowering (Stephens pg. 5). Furthermore, despite the common belief as veiling being particular to Muslims, Tamira Stephens also reports through her essay that even “more American” subcultures (the Amish) have a form of this practice much closer to my perception of misogyny (cite). Though Stephens’ comparison of the Amish and American Muslim veil serves as a means to subdue any negative stereotypes surrounding the Muslim practice, Stephens’ description of this Islamic practice of veiling can also serve as a testament to the positive effects of pluralism and equality in the United States.

    It is meant to symbolize protection of the weak and self-defense but, wearing of such a weapon has been argued to be dangerous to those around such person as it is still a lethal weapon. Teachers believed that the student should not be able to wear the weapon on school grounds as it endangered the safety of nearby students. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled in favor of individuals arguing that such a weapon impeached their rights to safety and as such the Supreme Court banned the wearing of such a weapon in places like school to protect the safety of the people4, even though this violates the religious rights of Sikhs. These cases of the niqab and kirpan show that a person’s religious rights can be violated if it violates another person’s right to safety and

  • Student Dress Code Argumentative Essay

    1289 Words  | 6 Pages

    Over the last 20 years, many schools have shifted away from fairly unregulated student dress codes to more stringent dress codes, with some schools implementing voluntary or mandatory school uniforms. There are several positions on the dress code issue, each of which have their own persuasive arguments to support them, which can be evaluated to examine their validity. One position in favor of implementing dress codes is that these standards can improve student safety and perhaps even student performance at school. There are variations on this position that favor strict standards on what students can wear, while others want to implement school uniforms in public schools. The opposing view is that students should not be subject to any dress codes on the grounds that they restrict students' freedom of expression, and that they may place unfair cost burdens on poor families.
