Banning the Islamic face veils or not, that has been an intense debated subject and was widely argued in various places especially in Europe such as Italy, Spain, France…Lately, it has gained momentum across Europe and had reached its height when France – the country with third biggest Muslim population in Europe, officially decided to ban the all sorts of face veils known as burqas, niqabs, … This sparked immense outcries in many places. That raises the question: was this a right decision? Should the women have their rights to wear the face veil? This essay will try to set light on few core issues through a brief discussion on different aspects of the matter.
It is essential that one acquire some basic knowledge about the face veils before getting any deeper into the main issue. The face veil is a piece of garment designed to cover most parts of the women’s body with its intentions to give the Muslim women more ‘’ freedom ‘’ and security. And as we know the face veils somehow had become a symbol of the Muslim women and became an inseparable tradition of the Muslim women. Though it is quite controversial but this particular practice seems to not have a religious origin as though the Qur’an could be interpreted in various ways, it is commonly accepted that the Qur’an only urges the people to wear modestly in public places but does not specify that women must wear face veils. Therefore in my opinion, arguments against the face veils banning that has a religious background should be neglected.
