The first section I will be talking to you about is the act of prohibiting the wearing of burqas in the United States. The second point I will be discussing about is my point of view on the act of prohibiting Syrian and/or Saudi Arabian refugees from entering the United states without presidential approval. The final section I will be discussing to you about is about Immigrants
At a camp at Kohat, Pakistan there were two suicide bombers, disguised with burqas, that struck the camp. The attack killed 41 people and injured about 62 people. In another case there were seven Afghan Taliban terrorists who were wearing burqas. One of the members was wearing an explosive vest under the burqa and extra part and the 6 others had AK 47s, luckily nobody

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. I think the President needs to crack down on who should and who should not wear burqas. Now on to the next section I think that putting immigrants in commencement camps is the wrong idea. I guess it really depends on what they have done wrong if they have only crossed the border then they should not be kept in commencement caps all they wanted to do is just feel free. If they have done something very very bad then yes they should be held in a commencement camp but if they have done nothing wrong then they should not be held in commencement
1. The article that I found is about how the Federal Government was denied the ability to ban women from wearing their niquabs during a citizenship ceremony. The ban on niquabs was first brought to light when a Muslim woman from Pakistan named Zunera Ishaq tried to get Canadian citizenship, but she was unable to do so due to her unwillingness to remove her niquab. In the federal court ruling between the dispute amidst Zunera Ishaq and the government, Judge Keith Boswell stated that denying Zunera Ishaq her right to wear a niquab during her Canadian citizenship ceremony violates her freedom of religion. It was ruled that Zunera Ishaq was allowed to complete the ceremony while wearing her niquab.
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.
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.
I dedicated myself to wear modestly as I freed myself from vainglory, arrogance and pomposity. Hijab made me more conservative and not take things for granted. Whenever I had the hijab on, I felt complete and at ease. However, it also made me scared and tremble to the thought of being ostracized. I got many looks and judgements from people both in the subway and in school.
* The article “Reinventing the veil” by Leila Ahmed discusses how the concept of hijabs has changed over time. Back then many people had the assumption the veils would
However, Jill Singer in her opinion piece argues that the Burka should be banned as it is a symbol of oppression and inequality. Singer emphasises that the burka is “a symbol of subservience that turns woman into prisoners”. Singer makes good use of negative connotations such as “oppression”, “masochist” and “subservience” to generate an emotional response in the reader. The readership can be caught up in Singer’s heightened state of empathy for the women who are treated as worthless and objects of oppression. By drawing on the reader’s emotion, Singer is able to position the reader to think that in a modernised society, women should not be treated unequally to such an extent, thus making them side with her.
Discrimination In the world people tend to discriminate because of color of skin, culture, disabilities, appearance, language, and so many other matters. Florida Commission on Human Relations define discrimination as “the unfair treatment of a person or group on the basis of prejudice and without regard to individual merit.” In the Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, Arnold an Indian teenager had to face many hardships because he was a victim of discrimination for his appearance and the health condition he suffered as a little boy. In the other hand in Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi the protagonist suffer from discrimination due to the abuse of government in which women where force to use a veil, did not had freedom
Suicide bombers are motivated by their own experiences and other factors that are beneficial to them. Some think that suicide bombers are mentally ill, or psychologically disturbed, because of their self-less act of suicide in a public community; however a suicide bomber can be a person with a normal life, offered an opportunity that comes with beneficial rewards. Political conflict is the main reason for suicide bombings, because of altruism, repression, and religion basis. Suicide bombers who experience severe depression from letdowns, repression can lead to the act of suicide in a public area. Shaker Masri was an attempted suicide bomber in Chicago, IL.
There are 5 pillars of Islam, one being a Hajj to Mecca, that Muslims take part in to prove that they are good Muslims. Mansa Musa went on a Hajj for his religion, but he had other intentions for participating in this journey. Mansa Musa was a very wealthy leader of Mali who decided to go on this pilgrimage to Mecca to complete one of the 5 pillars of Islam, and he gave some of his gold to people who lived in the cities along the way where salt was abundant and gold was very valuable. Mansa Musa went to Mecca for his religion, but had other motivating factors. Mansa Musa could have gone through Timbuktu, but instead he decided to go the longer route, through Taghaza and Walata.
However, according to the Koran, the Islamic religious text, wearing a
The word “Muslim” carries with it quite a bit of baggage since the horrid day of the 9/11 attack, and even before it as well. Many people recoil at just the sight of a Muslim woman’s covered head. The first thought that comes to mind, for many people, when picturing a Muslim is a rural man wearing a turban and speaking a foreign language. This image has not only greatly bothered many American Muslims; it has massively affected their day-to-day lives. Adnan Syed, for example, was greatly discriminated against in a courtroom whilst fighting for his freedom.
September 11th, 2001, a date marked by history. A day where thousands of Americans would wake up to their family, their friends, and the world one last time. Over 3,000 lives taken away because of the actions of a few terrorists who wanted nothing more than to watch America fall to the ground. Suicide Bombers cause global terror, and their motives and strategies are all part of a complex system of sacrifice and glory. Justifying the actions of these terrible people is almost impossible, but learning the origin of suicide bombers, examining their tactics, and discussing their motives will provide a better look inside the mind of a bomber and possibly give an explanation as to why terrorist attacks occur.
The woman is wearing a burqa which represents the cultural artifact. Although she is representing her country, Saudi Arabia, she is also representing America in a way as well. Many people of the Muslim faith stay true to their religion and actually wear their attire in America, despite the harsh criticism they may
Pre-Existing Policies Traditionally, suicide attacks have been responded by a series of actions, the most popular being: extensive military action including (but not limited to) deterrence measures such as, foreign occupation; termination, utter isolation and imprisonment of terrorist leaders and operatives; and finally, the demolition and dismantlement of peril terrorist infrastructures and equipment; (Atran, 2006; Crenshaw, 2007; Ganor, 2009; Hoffman, 2003). Additional policies included homeland security propositions and precessions (security zones, check points, entrance control, etc.); law enforcement such as mobilizations of, security forces; economical counter measures, such as the establishment of new state departments, designated
This is a very strong position of democratic and tolerant society. Democracy itself is based on freedom, and freedom is based on defense of human rights. According to this stand, everyone can wear religious symbols wherever and whenever he or she wants. Then, it is considered, that any limitation of faith's expression is against the conviction that democracy advocates. For example, in the article written by Ruth, M.L. (June 05, 2014 "Woman Booted From Hair School For Wearing Religious Headwear?") about Dalisha Burnett, who was expelled from her school in USA because she refused to take off her hijab.
