Why Do Jews Should Wear Kiopoli

Decent Essays
Jews should stop wearing kippas to all of the public events they attend. Wearing a kippa only brings hate and terrorist attacks to all the people that wear them. In paragraph 16, the author states, “Harassment, threats, and vandalism directed at American Muslims has reportedly grown recently, notably in the wake of the ISIS- linked attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California, and comments by U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump.” According to the author, muslims are getting threatened and mistreated because of their religion and kippas. If Jews stopped wearing kippas, religious harassment will probably go down and resolve more problems. Even if it is part of their routine or mandatory in their religion, it is not worth wearing a headscarf

    In the past decade, there have been numerous accounts of vicious attacks against Muslims men and women, who are being specifically targeted because of their faith. These ethnic and religious tensions have been brewing in the United States primarily since the large influx of immigrants in the 1980s and 1990s, but were severely heightened after the events occurring on September 11, 2001. Every man wearing a turban or every woman wearing a hijab was merely perceived as a menacing terrorist rather than a human being, as their religion was associated with the actions of Al-Qaeda. However, more recently there has been another major event broadcasting the still present Islamophobia around the world, even fourteen years after the 9/11 attacks. On January…

    Jewish Wear Kippas

    • 259 Words

    I believe Jews should not wear kippas where they are religiously persecuted for their own safety, but if they are in a place where they are not in danger of wearing their kippas, they should wear their kippas to practice their beliefs. In my defense, Jews that live in France are in danger if they are wearing their kippas due to their anti-Semitic and multi-ethnic society. For example, in France a recent attack disturbed many French Jews since a 15 year old boy slashed a Jewish teacher in the street. Although wearing kippas are part of their religion it puts innocent people in danger which should be more important than a small part of their religion and France’s chief rabbi states,”And then some people won’t be able to wear a cross in the street,…

    Islam’s sacred book, Quran, highlights the use of a headscarf. For its followers, the headscarf represents freedom of choice. Wearing a headscarf is optional, but it tells followers, especially female followers, that by wearing one, you are pleasing God. Here’s the thing: most of these women have never had respect or felt any dignity before, and the idea that there is a God out there that “respects” them, and that recognizes them as equal to men, seems to attract women. By wearing a headscarf, you not only are “pleasing God,” you are covering yourself, which leaves men no other choice but to look at you as a human being, therefore you feel comfortable –you don’t have the looks of men all over you-…

    Islamophobia Dbq

    Day after day, echo the sounds of disconcerted newscasters, announcing the new terrorist attacks around the world; although the minority of these terror attacks, in truth, correspond with Islamic Extremist groups, politicians have exaggerated the quantity and intensity of “violent Muslims” by combining these terror attacks news with the “traditional” and “not Western” cloth preferences of some Muslims, and thus created an illogical detest towards all Muslims. This unrightful generalization that all Muslims are violent, and this judging of people wearing hijabs or thobes started to gravely pressurize Muslim people within and without their homeland. Islamophobia, the unreasonable fear and abase of the second largest religion of the globe, puts…

    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…

    “…historians of Islam remind us that hijab practices were not invented by Islam and were customary among pre-Islamic Jews, Christians, and others (including the women of Classical Greek and Byzantine empires)” (106). It is interesting to see that Islam wasn’t the first to have women cover their hair, but religions like Judism and Christianity were. This is an important idea to keep in mind since most of the time Muslim women are judged by Christians, who were one of the first religions to put a head covering on a woman. To this day, Christianity still has the head-covering present in the religion and that is shown by nuns who wear a veil to cover their hair. Now that we are…

    Hijab Benefits

    Not having to worry about your hair style, never having to give a second thought to your roots, and picture day no longer being ruined by unruly hair, at times may seem like good enough reasons to simply accept compulsory hijab regulations, but looking at the big picture it is clear that mandatory hijab is not in societies best interest - contrary to what some may believe. The fact of the matter is, while there may be some benefits associated with such regulations, the costs inflected on society far outweigh the benefits. 1979 is a year that has been immortalized in history as the year in which the islamic revolution took place. That year caused numerous changes in Iran, including a change in regime, severed relationships with the west, political unrest, and the enactment of compulsory hijab. Previously the country had banned hijab in 1936, making it the first Muslim country to do so, that ban was then lifted in 1941, and then veiling was made mandatory in 1980 by the new Islamic rulers.…

    In the article “From Bikinis to Burkas”, Al-Solaylee uses the idea that life in the Middle East was at one point, no different from the western world and was therefore better than what it is now, making this emotionally based article propagandistic in nature. This creates a sense of moral duty to some conservatives in regards to the current war in the Middle East. Al-Solaylee creates the impression that the American invasion is simply working towards restoring their previous way of life through his portrayal of Yemen in the 1940’s. Al-Solaylee’s story about his family is used to paint a picture about the struggles and changes in Yemen and implies it to the entire Middle East with no counter arguments. Al-Solaylee states that the…
