The Dehumanization Of Muslim Women

Improved Essays
If somebody Googles “beautiful woman”, they can go through the first 100 results and not see a single woman wearing a hijab, the headscarf worn by many Muslim women internationally. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and a total of 2 women wearing a headscarf can be shown. This probably doesn’t surprise many people; Partly because many people know how the media portrays Muslim women, and partly because there are many people who don’t think that Muslim women can be beautiful and wouldn’t consider any for their list. Criticism of Muslim women is widely practiced and has consequently become widely-accepted. Muslim women are constantly being dehumanized by the media, other people, and the negative stereotypes that surround their

    The treatment of women in fundamentalist religions The treatment of women in the Middle East is barbaric, unjust and unthinkable. In Afghanistan alone “87 percent of women report having experienced physical, sexual or psychological violence or forced marriage”.1 In the Middle East women are seen as unequal in comparison to men just because they are born a female and are seen not to have the mental capacity of that of a man. The Quran itself has many conflicting ideas on the treatment of women. However, the Quran was written around 610AD so it has to be taken into consideration the fact that the attitudes and status of women back then was not the way it is today.…

    The three reasons provided by the author to support her thesis statement are: There is a stereotyping of Muslim women and of the burqa; The battle against the burqa is evident and reverberant in Western nations, but there is no involvement of Muslim women in this discussion; Burqa-clad women experience marginalization in Western cycles and in progressive Muslim communities. The first reason claimed by the writer is supported by her assumption that the burqa is considered by most people an opponent symbol of the Western values, and the women who wear it are controlled by men, they do not have control over their bodies and this garb is imprisoning all their rights. According to Hasan, the association of the burqa as a symbol of Islam is so strong that this topic receives more attention than other issues faced by Muslims. In order to support this assumption, she uses as an example the burqa ban request made by the Muslim Canadian Congress, which justified this request by declaring that the burqa is a political symbol of Islamic extremism. As a final appeal, Hasan resorts to loaded questions in a tentative to demonstrate how insensate this request is.…

    This intersection of gender, religion and ethnicity, creates issues which Muslim women face on a daily basis. These Americans are constantly barraged with comments that vacillate between being called oppressed or labeled a terrorist, all due to a simple piece of clothing; the hijab. Interestingly, it is hard to imagine a devout Catholic or Baptist, who wears a hat to services, being subjected to the same remarks. Nevertheless, Muslim American women are often asked why they wear a hijab and or if they feel oppressed by it? Dalia Mogahed, Director of Research at the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, responded with the following: I wear the hijab, “because it’s an act of devotion to God.…

    Naheed Mustafa in “My body Is My Own Business” says, “in the Western world, the hijab has come to symbolize either forced silence or radical, unconscionable militancy.” As she explains the true meaning behind the hijab she talks about the perceptions that people have of her. Mustafa breaks this perceived silence as she compares her reality to the flawed viewpoints of other Canadians. By explaining the significance of the hijab through her own experiences, this story shows that women in Canada are subjected to absurd standards of beauty that are oppressing women and in turn hindering them from achieving their right to equality. Mustafa connects with the reader from the way the story is told through a personal narrative, collective language, and clever structuring of the content.…

    Muslim women have experienced oppression at the hands of the state many times throughout history, and still to this day. A recent example of this oppression is shown through the implementation of Bill 62(CHECK) in Quebec, Canada. This law bans face coverings from public and government buildings, denying Muslim women who wear the veil, essential governmental services. CCMW (Canadian Council of Muslim Women) responded to this bill by stating, “We are concerned that State interference in this issue may open the possibility of further restrictions and that these restrictions will be based on racism and prejudice against one group of citizens, that is, Muslims.” Bill 94 represents the intersectional oppression that Muslim receive via the western culture.…

    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.…

    Oppression In Religion

    I agree with both Kate and Emily in the matter of how Islam, and other religions, can be oppressive towards women. However, talking to women who wears either a hijab or a burqa, I have encountered women who find it empowering in their faith. I do not think you can generalise what is oppression in one culture compared to another, because there are different norms within each culture. What may seem oppressing in one culture may have the opposite effect in another. To go off of what Emily said, in the Western world women can dress more provocative than women of the non-Western world, which is not an issue in one culture but is in the other.…

    Women for many generations, have chosen to honor their submission to their creator by covering their heads and denying their beauty to others outside of their families. From the time Allah spoke words to the Prophet Muhammad about his commands to be modest, women have unselfishly covered their heads. Not because they are oppressed but because they have a desire to use the outward symbol to inner behavior of modesty. Many religions incorporate the idea of covering one’s head, but the level of devotion varies. Though the road to acceptance across the world for such as is slow, Muslim women have confidence that one day everyone will understand the inner meaning behind the…
