With Canada and it’s population of approximately 35 millions inhabitants, In todays day there will definitely be racism present regarding Islamophobia. Canada being a free country, isn’t giving equal living rights to the women who wear a head gear in regards to their religion.

In the present day Muslim women wear hijab and Niqab to cover themselves to respect their religion, and show their expression of their cultural identity. Muslims across Canada are free to practice their religion in which they choose. Whether or not Muslim women choose to participate freely in the practice of respecting their commandments, citizens of Canada are still shaming for there choices. Muslim women have various reasons on why they choose to wear a head gear …show more content…

One of Canada’s very own leader Stephen Harper positions on his campaign trial about anti-niqab crossing the racism line. Few Canadians who support Muslims in their culture disagree with Stephen Harper’s remarks and are considering not voting for the party he takes lead in or not at all due to him crossing the racism line by isolating these women for simply following something they believe in, however for Stephen Harper it as all about getting elected at the end of the day no matter what shade is being thrown at him. Parts of the Canadian community give negative feedback to Muslim women wearing head gears and would know from personal experience. Along with the back head being covered and parts of the face, harsh people of Canada society are labelling these women terrorist and harmful to their surroundings. When the only harmful situation going on is the snarky and rude actions forwarded towards these women by the racist Canadians against Muslim traditions. Whether or not a careless action causes a homicide or a suicide, a person has lost their life. Several deaths have been reported due to racism towards muslim women or men who as well follow the religion. Putting a stop to hatred against Muslims is a very high priority for Canada to find a

  • Niquab Case Study

    140 Words  | 1 Pages

    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.

    We have had a good history and is known to be diverse, and when a great act of hate uproars like this, it would taint our history. According to an interview done by CBC, during Hitler’s time period, “Catholic’s were attacked and Jews, Blacks, and Chinese were hated” (CBC, 2013). Nobody had seen this much hate in Canada. If the province or government wanted to do something, they would have stepped in. But the event was unaccounted for.

  • Improving Indigenous Health Starts With Reconciliation By Anna Banerji

    The CBC, which represents Canada (by the nature of it’s funding), and its government, bares a responsibility in its publishing practice, to: (1) provide proper editing (spelling, at least), and (2) some sort of editorial counter-argument for the news it delivers. In the case of the Banerji article, the author and/or the CBC are responsible for citing the specific policies that this report refers to. Using broad statements like “The Indian Act,” instead of pointing out specific statutes within the act to premise statements, would give the federal government their voice, and thereby show how Canada’s governmental policy contravenes the Human Rights code with respect to the indigenous population; juxtaposing the treatment of Aboriginal Peoples and those of non-Aboriginal

  • Reza Shah Dbq

    894 Words  | 4 Pages

    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.

    As there is a growing islamophobia movement there are many organizations and people willing to fight for muslim women to be allowed to wear their hijabs in situations such as arrests and mug shot photos. Part of Malak Kazan’s lawsuit is to have the Dearborn police department’s policy changed permanently in order to accommodate women of the Islamic faith (Lawsuit). This is not the only movement for this specific topic though The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is working very closely with prisons in America to allow Hijabi women to be allowed to wear the hijab in jail. There are already different stations in Detroit that allow women to wear the scarf during detainment (May).

  • Religion's Influence On Modern Western Law

    493 Words  | 2 Pages

    The laws of Islam are known as Sharia law and many of the crimes in Sharia law are also laws in modern day Canada. “Hudud crimes are seven: theft, highway robbery, zina (illicit sex), sexual slander (accusing someone of zina but failing to produce four witnesses), drinking alcohol, publicly disputing Imam, and apostasy (leaving Islam and converting to another religion or becoming an atheist).” (Crimes and the Criminal Process). The Hudud crime of theft is also a crime in Canada, although the punishment in Sharia law is the amputation of a hand rather than a fine of imprisonment. Drinking alcohol is not a direct crime in Canada but some concepts associated with drinking, like underage drinking, and driving while under the influence, are crimes.

  • Luara Ferracioli's Challenging The Burqa Ban

    195 Words  | 1 Pages

    Luara Ferracioli, following the successful campaign to have the Burqa and Niqab banned in France, outlines the importance of the role of ‘multiculturalism’. In her article, “Challenging the Burqa Ban” (2013), Ferracioli identifies how important it is to accept and respect one’s differences in cultures in order to feel belonged. This is only truly visible under the context to which people stay true to their individuality. Therefore, because multiculturalism is supposed to embrace on equality amongst all citizens, why does France prohibit the use of Niqabs for Muslim women? In another article by Will Kymlicka “Multiculturalism: Success, Failure and the Future”, he succinctly summarizes multiculturalism as a successful policy where everyone is

    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

  • The Importance Of Hijab In Muslim Women

    996 Words  | 4 Pages

    Theodore Gabriel (2011, p. 25) outlined “the covering of the head, Hijab, and the covering of face, Niqab, are seen by many as demonstrations of oppression.” This shows that the act of veiling promoted through religious beliefs interfere in the possession of one’s body and her rights to make decisions for her own self. By taking the rights of someone, it is perceived for him/her to be of an unequal status as compared to their peers.

    In addition, the burqa endangers women who wear it. More specifically, the New York Times reported that a pregnant French Muslim has been violently attacked by two men due to the her facial veil. Similarly, a retired teacher attacked a women wearing burqa, affirming that “the wearing of the veil is an aggressive act, there is no burka in my country”(Allen, Peter “Burka rage ' teacher faces jail in France after ripping off Muslim woman 's face veil”).These attacks clearly show that women who wear burqa are discriminated and they are unsafe. Likewise, Jacques Myard, member of the Union for a Popular Movement, stated “Women should not have to wear the burqa, which by its very nature excludes them from France’s secular Republic”. Thus, the burqa isolates women from France and exposes them to stigmatization.
