Hurley in Lancashire, England, is a city of simmering
ethnic tensions burst into violent riots between Muslims and non-Muslims in
2001. Yet Hurley College, the first in Britain to the veil or clothing that
cover the face "became Ban ostensibly for security reasons. Britain itself
boasted of more tolerant than other European countries like France or Belgium
that the veil in schools, colleges or public buildings ban. So what is it to a
Muslim student from Hurley being? Find out Human MODDING.
One reason why I study to London at the university away from the uncomfortable
paranoid feeling that the majority of people in Hurley and neighboring towns
made me feel moved. I spent my whole life living in Hurley and have always felt
the racial segregation to be a major problem.
Then in the sixth form common room at my school in Hurley, this separation was
clear - Muslims to fill one side of the room and non-Muslims the other. I ask
myself: why are we not accept one another?
Banning the veil again say that a Muslim woman who wears the veil is not
accepted. Why not? For the fact that her? Dress modestly need to liberate
Muslim women, it should not oppress her.
As a Muslim girl myself I feel like the so-called "security" reasons
for the ban on Hurley College is an antiquated excuse, and forcing someone to
take off the veil is discrimination.
At least half if not more of the people in Hurley is Muslim. Therefore, one
would think that Hurley authorities would be more considerate and understanding
of other religions and beliefs. I wonder why Muslims do not get a say in what
happens, especially when it affects them directly.
After Burley riots in 2001 I came across a young person quite confident he said
hates Muslims, and the reason for his parents during the riots were injured.
I remember when the riots broke out, it was said that one of the reasons for
the tension was that Muslims believed them to the same rights as the rest of
the population, and the higher, better-paid work given to non- Muslims.
Although I do not believe it's true, I do believe that there is still tension
and other 'tactics are used to separate the rights of Muslims and non-Muslims,
such as the ban on the veil.
I was 11 when I first started wearing the headscarf and perhaps too young to
fully why I'm realizing. All I knew at that point that I wanted. As I got
older, of course, I understand it more. But try to explain to my non-Muslim
friends was difficult. They were not eager to understand and was not eager to
accept.
I remember a time in high school when some of my non-Muslim friends asked me to
take off my headscarf. When I asked why, they have no valid reason. "You
will look better that your hair," they said, or "Other Muslims so why
should you?" Or: "Your sister so why do you?"
Forcing a Muslim girl to take off her veil changes that she wants to be. I feel
like excuse after excuse generate why a woman should not wear the veil. If your
friend decides to wear the veil tomorrow, would you think less of her? She was
the same person she always, you always knew.
Imperial College London has a system where Muslim women to show their face at
the door for security, but then allowed to cover their faces again when the
door.
This system will be more considerate if the security officer was female and
Muslim women would feel uncomfortable, but it is something I think Burley
College should consider. Especially when their policy was to force Muslim women
to quit the university.
As a Muslim, I believe that nothing overwhelmed faith and religion is more
important than anything else. Banning the veil is pushed to choose a Muslim
woman between his faith and his upbringing. Where are her rights?
I always heard that London was more multicultural and more accepting of who you
are and where you are from. It made me think university in London as I no
longer wanted to push the other side of the common room.
I feel much more comfortable in London, maybe because I do not label me in
Burley. It made me free to be myself. Need not be marked, the sense of
individuality is liberating. So, no paranoia.
My friends now range of the different nationalities, races and religions. I do
not feel forced into just friends with Muslims. From my first year university
experience in London with all kinds of people, I think my confidence has grown.
Being at the Bartlett School of Architecture, we are all encouraged to be
ourselves and be open to understanding other cultures and people. We embrace
and share our skills and knowledge.
I feel accepted.

Comment:
Wearing a burke not Muslim women involved in everyday life in Britain avoided.
Baroness Warsi defended the right of Muslim women choose to wear the burke.
She suggested that many Muslim women choose the veil of their own free will
wear. "Why should we tell women what to wear? What it means choice. If
women do not have a choice about what to wear then they oppress.
"But if a woman has a choice, and she chooses to wear whatever she chose
then she suppress is she? His choice what she wants."
Critics claim that the burke alienates Muslim women from the rest of society.
But Conservative Party chairman Baroness Wars said the burke not act as a
barrier in itself. She added: "There are women who burke that most
operating successful businesses - internet businesses, which do not really need
to be there face to face, I do not believe it is for the state to which we can
say and can not. wearing. Any woman who supports the burke one should wear.
"
There is a social and economic pressure on Muslim women cover themselves with
the hirable or neap. Wars is a member of the Cabinet Tory because she does not
cover herself. Only those Muslim women with post responsibility are those who
do not cover themselves. Only those Muslim women who cover themselves received
no state honors. The ban on the veil or blocking the construction of minarets
would alienate the Muslim community and threaten social cohesion.
Some young Muslim feminists consider the hirable and neap political symbols, is
a way of rejecting Western excesses such as alcohol-abuse, casual sex and drug
use. What more liberating: judged on the length of your skirt and the size of
your breasts, or on your character and intelligence?
A careful reading of the Koran shows that just about everything Western
feminists fought in the 1970s were available 1400 years ago Muslim women equal
to men in spirituality, education and worth to be considered. When Islam offers
women so much, why are Western men so obsessed with Muslim women attire?
Even former ministers Gordon Brown and John Reid derogatory remarks about the
made neap, and they come from Scotland, where men wear skirts.
"Common sense" not to wear the neap because it makes social relations
"more difficult"? Nonsense. If this is the case, why are cell phones,
e-mail, text messaging and fax machines in daily use?
What this body up no intelligence or physical and mental abilities reduced in the
course of a house, raise children, get a degree, to make money, to make an
informed member of the community or their social interaction with other
neighbors. The neap not make them inferior.
Why are people reluctant to associate with us so willingly and openly as with
other Muslim women who cover their faces? We do not bite or any other. Is
because they are afraid that we are more likely to "terrorism"
because we choose to follow our religion more now? On the contrary, people who
their religions now, any religion, realized that they, among others the
obligation to maintain the sanctity of their religion under all circumstances
and no religion teaches violence.
Women who cover their face and keep neap is as normal as anyone else. If the
victims we are indeed the victims of mass propaganda and false advertising
against Muslim women this breach of trust between us and the rest of the world
has caused.
We are very normal, we are very human and we are as intelligent as anyone else
.... the beauty and strength lies in the mind. By wearing the hirable or neap,
a Muslim woman is able to confidently project her opinions and ideas without
the pressure to criticism in secret or openly for their body.
Today, our society encourages women to show off their bodies and their brains
show. Female models are often underweight, and the media tell us this is the
way women should look like !! don’t make me laugh !!!!
