Should France Be Allowed To Ban The Hijab?

Should France be allowed to ban the hijab? While some people would immediately say that the hijab should be allowed in France other people might think differently. I will be showing you reasons why or why not the hijab should be allowed in France. I will also be giving my personal thoughts on every point and explaining the reason a bit further.

First of all, many think that the hijab should be allowed in France. This is because in the Quran, Islam’s holiest book, it is said that women should wear the hijab. As some people see this is in the Quran they take this as mandatory and feel that for them to be a part of Islam they have to follow it out but as the hijab is banned in schools and other public places this is very difficult to do. This law can also exclude people from school meaning that someone’s education can be stopped just because of their beliefs. Getting taught is a basic human right and also religious beliefs should be respected during a child’s education.

With all factors considered I agree with this reason totally. I think that everyone should have equal rights and someone’s belief shouldn’t be a reason to stop their education. France banning the hijab is also unfair as children from Islamic families have got used to their families wearing hijabs and they will think that it is bad as it is illegal. Also I think that wearing a hijab doesn’t harm anyone but it makes the person wearing the hijab feel better for giving up something to their beliefs and religion.

As the government controls France they should be able to make laws that they think will ...
