Subject: Hijab
Topic: Should the Hijab be banned?
Proposition: No, the Hijab should not be banned.
Throughout the world, Muslims have been discriminated against; Muslims have been beaten, raped and killed. However, this was not enough for the non-Muslim countries, now they are trying to ban Muslim Women from wearing the Hijab. They are discriminating against women simply because of they way they are dressed. Should the Hijab be banned? As a Muslim Woman, I believe that the Hijab should not be banned for any given reasons.
My Hijab is a statement of my identity, it is my dignity and my self-esteem, and it is my weapon. I am a person who wears the Hijab so I can deter men from treating us women like sex objects, as they have always done. I concentrate on my personality and my mind and ignore my manifestation. Now they want to ban the Hijab, why, it is not bothering us, so why is it bothering everyone else? Everyone thinks that we are oppressed but what they do not know is that every time we place it on our heads we feel tranquil and content. I know when others look at me they might think its imprisonment, but it is a proud display of my sanctuary and chastity; it is my stronghold and my freedom.
Taking off my Hijab will be like taking off my moral character. Just like the young German woman of Turkish descent, Emine Öztürk, said after having to go through court for wearing a Hijab "It's part of my identity, how can I lay my identity at the door of the classroom?" People judge the scarf from what they see, but they never actually asked us Muslim women how does it make us feel. "I think it's very sad that this society continues to look at the head scarf as something of a threat," said Öztürk. "I find it shocking that so many things are projected onto the head scarf without anyone ever asking the women who wear them." The Hijab is our FREEDOM, we feel comfortable wearing it and we are not forcing anyone else to wear it, so why try to ban it? It is not hurting anyone and it certainty is not hurting us; however, it is a protection for us.
In France, the Hijab was banned from school, and police were called in to prevent 22 Muslim girls from entering their school wearing the Hijab. That is something to be offended by. Why does the Hijab bother everyone so much, is it not us that is wearing it? We are not requesting from anyone to wear the Hijab, we want to wear it so let us be. In the Bill of Rights in the First Amendment, it clearly states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” This means we have the right to practice our religion and our religion tells us to wear Hijab.
Allah has stated in the Qur’an that women must guard their modesty. " Say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty ; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear thereof. " [Qur’an: 24.31].
To Conclude, No one can ever deprive us of our dignity, no matter how much they try. We will never take off our Hijab no matter how many times they ban it. It is our self-respect and we will never remove it for anyone.
