Lombardy Should Be Banned Research Paper

Decent Essays
Summary: A famous city in Italy, Lombardy, has banned Islamic face coverings. This was caused by the terrorist attacks in Europe. Simona Bordonali has said that people that go into hospitals are only able to enter if they are recognizable and don't have any coverings. If they do wear a burqa or niqab, they will be banned. Since Lombardy is the only city in Italy that's doing this, the rest of Italy are not going in their path. At least, for now. Venice has banned women from wearing burqa and niqab, as well. But not just that, they also banned traditional Venetian carnival masks. As a response to this, residents have protested against this and they won and they the council had to pay 11,500 euros in compensation.

    In the article “France’s headscarf war: ‘It’s an attack on freedom’”, Angelique Chrisafis describes experiences of racial discrimination through arbitrary regulations that prevent them from having religious freedom. For instance, Chrisafis explains how Youssra’s was prohibited from joining her son on a school trip because the French Republic saw headscarves as an aggression that puts children in danger. Youssra’s felt humiliated, while her child, like many other children, experienced secondary effects such as psychological difficulties. This frustrated me because some Muslims felt inferior to other ethnic groups due to having more restrictions. These regulations gave Muslims the wrong message that they would have to eliminate a part of themselves…

    It was presumed that all Muslims who wear a Burqa are forced to do so, therefore, wearing a burqa is a form of repression. However, this is untrue, while some women are forced to wear a Burqa, most do so willingly. Furthermore Advance Australia also committed the ‘Ignoratio elenchi’ fallacy as they interpreted the equality of women as similarity in culture and custom when they expressed that “the equality of women is a core Australian value”. Many examples of equivocal, vague, emotional and loaded terms were used in the last two paragraphs.…

    The news accounts for a majority of the media that decides what information people learn about others and their cultures around the world. Sadly, many people determine their viewpoints based off of what they heard on the news and do not try to educate themselves further before a judgement is made.

    In “Blanket condemnations,” Erum Hasan (2010) claims the discussion involving the burqa ban is being incorrectly addressed, with activists from different realms focusing on actions that prohibit this attire rather than discussing the Muslim women’s rights. Using an anecdote, Hasan introduces the discomfort and repudiation that a woman wearing a burqa can cause in the Western society. Notwithstanding, she declares this vesture is demonized by the West, being considered a symbol of Islam and consequently an outrage to non-Muslim realms. Mentioning countries which adopted decrees against the burqa, Hasan illustrates the political actions that are being taken worldwide, with governments dictating how their citizens should wear; such actions are…

    On a cold winter day, as a lonely and homesick senior in college, my sister called to tell us that despite all that has happened, she would not shy away from her heritage and the pride that she felt for Islam. Her desire to wear the hijab had eventually increased at this point. The hijab became a symbol of her rejection, and she could not have been more proud to flaunt it. Many women around the world wear hijab’s as a response to the rejection of Western influence. Although it may seem crazy to wear a hijab in a world that has a negative perception of Muslims, there is a significant amount of women wearing the hijab as a strong sense of identity.…
