Bans In Europe Oppress The Woman

"Unveiling Europe" an article written by Veronica Majerol she explains in the article how in France Muslim women are not allowed to wear their niqab in public. The government in France thinks Muslims wearing their niqab prevents them from fully participating in French society.

This article contains quotes, and facts. One fact that surprised me is in 2004 they banned students from wearing any religious garbs. This fact is surprising and sad because they should be able to express their religion. Show publicly what they believe in what they religion are.

People should be able to wear their niqab in public. It doesn’t prevent them from participating in the French society; they are just going to participate in a garb. Women should be able to wear what they choose to by now it is 2013. By having this ban, they are keeping people from coming to their country and coming outside to enjoy the French society.

I can connect this with the book we are now reading in school. The book is called Zeitoun, and in the book Zeitoun’s wife Kathy had to deal with problems being Muslim. The kids would try to pull off her hijab, and people would look at her funny. Her mom would even disrespect her by saying take that thing off her head.

I think with any religion you should be allowed to express it anywhere you go. If France doesn’t want people coming outside in a niqab why allow them to migrate to migrate to your country?
