Some people, including French activist Fadela Amara, even argue that the veil is a “historic lie,” that it made…

history is not the main focus of 1000 Splendid Suns, but it does shape the way the characters are presented. Once the communists were overthrown, extremists took over the government and shoved the religion down everyone’s throats. Women now had to wear burqas in public while men had to have their beard a certain length. People obviously tried to revolt against this religious state.

Australian’s response to the Ban the Burqa article The ban the burqa article is a short piece of writing that clearly opposes the beliefs of a number of Australian politicians. The article is divided in to three main parts, each focusing on a different argument against banning the Burqa and Niqab. In this piece I would like to express my views as a citizen of Australia as well as discuss arguments for and against the motion. The piece opens with a very bold statement: “The burqa and niquab are…

In “Beyond the Burqa”, Zuhra Bahman states that people prefer the traditional justice system. To begin with, over 80 percent of people from the Afghan culture would be partial to the traditional justice system. According to the author,” …These customs are extremely hard to change as most Afghan people and institutions either passively endorse or actively follow them” (Bahman 325). This means that during the Taliban era people would prefer the traditional justice system just because it is…

the burqa because it causes controversy when it shouldn’t cause controversy at all there are several main reasons why the burqa should be banned in France.

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…
