Quote:

"…security requires people to show their faces when appearing in public places. A second, closely related argument says that the kind of transparency and reciprocity proper to relations between citizens is impeded by covering part of the face." A Catalonian legislature recently referred to a burqa as a "degrading prison."(Nussbaum 2010)

Question:

The content shows that security authorities' demands people to show their forehead when appearing in public areas. This text focuses specifically on the burqa worn by Muslim women that covers parts such as the mouth, nose and ears. The burqa is tied to Muslim regions and traditions, and on some level, it seems to be affecting security authorities' roles. Is the arguer referring to Muslim women only or to all women who wear the burqa? Why is it that the veil is a necessity in the Muslim religion? Do women accept the burqa in the Muslim denomination, or it is oppressing the minority? Would banning the burqa help reduce insecurity cases?

Response:

Chapter seven on "Women in Islam" is attractive and provides valuable information because it offers a relevant understanding of ladies from the Islamic religion and the desires of the security people. In the Islamic denomination, wearing the veil is a requirement, and various reasons accompany it. On the other side, the security people do consider the burqa a necessity when people appear in public areas. Over the past years, the face has been used as the only identity security person checks for details such as passports and driving licenses. According to the author's arguments, he does not only refer to Islamic women but even men who wear the veil to symbolize the thingification of women. In my opinion, if someone does not have adequate knowledge on the use of the cover in the Islamic religion, then they should not refer to it as a "degrading prison." If the women are not complaining about it, they should practice their religion and respect their God (Tasz 115).

The veil is a necessity in the Islamic religion and traditions since it helps in preventing males from desiring sex. It also reflects submissiveness to God and binds people to the belief of their denomination. Also, to the Islamic religion, it helps lower cases of harassment when a woman is in public places. Moreover, the social security person should accept the burqa and stop being against the Islamic denomination and tradition if they do not have knowledge about it. According to their religion, I find the veil necessary, although this should not limit women from enjoying their freedom in jobs and public places. The arguer should respect all citizens and consider using excellent technologies such as biometrics, including eye and fingers recognition, to ensure safety and transparency at checkpoints. Those against the veil should not propose to ban all these objectifying actions because they often participate in them. Nevertheless, banning such actions based on equality would be an intolerable invasion of liberty. In my opinion, if the use in India can help prevent dust, reduce risks of skin cancer, then it is lawful to force women to stop wearing it. I see it as an injustice if the security people propose that all Muslim women should not wear the veil. Generally, suppose they are comfortable, and their denomination does not oppress them because they know what a burqa means in their religion. In that case, they should not be swayed by the new lifestyles and people's opinions. Even though the arguer rejects the different arguments reflected by the author, I see it necessary to respect the Islamic denomination and tradition because they are the critical factor that brings unity and disrespecting the veil shows a lack of honor to their culture and maker.
