Also do not forget the fact that Saudi Arabia is a religious country . Many people in Saudi Arabia agree that women shouldn’t drive a car because it is so suspicious . They believe this , because in my thinking , Saudi Arabia didn’t developed early like the other countries . If we look to the fact that Saudi Arabia is a Muslim country or an Arabic country as reason to prevent women from driving that’s certainly wrong , because all the other Muslims countries in the Arabic world allow women to drive . But some people with the entrenched mindsets make religion an excuse to prevent driving .It does not say any thing in Qur’an about that .
Islamic visual arts are ornamental, vibrant, and, in religious art, nonrepresentational and often associated with the arabesque style. Early Islam forbade the painting of human beings, including the Prophet, as Muslims believe this tempts followers of the Prophet to idolatry. A prohibition against depicting representational images in religious art, as well as the naturally decorative nature of Arabic script, led to the use of calligraphic decorations, which usually involved repeating geometrical patterns that expressed ideals of order and nature. These methods were used on both religious and secular art and architectures such as scripts, carpets, ceramics, decorations, jewelry and more textiles. As we studied in class, early Islamic monuments or attitudes whose functions and forms were directly inspired by the new faith or derived from it.

Unlike with regular Christian based art that has a strong tradition of portraying the human figure; Islamic Art is featured with more of an arabesque style. Early Islam culture forbade anyone to paint human beings, even prophets, feeling that it led its follows to idolize the form depicted in the painting. Because of this, Muslim art is typically in a style that features calligraphic designs, which typically displayed geometric patterns that were repeated over and over again. This was seen in architecture, carpets and documents that were hand written. The Qur’an was transcribed using Arabic, a very flowing and beautiful script that calligraphy stemmed from.
They soon filed a suit in a New York State court to banned the prayer,they kept on insisting that the use of this prayer in the public schools was contrary to their own and their children's beliefs, religions, or religious practices. The separation of church and state says that government should stay out of the business of enforcing any religious activities no matter what the case is. The Board of education's prayer is quite simple and it violates the 1st Amendment and because of this should be banned
To some Buddhists tattoos of Buddha are considered disrespectful. Images of holy people are not to be reproduced on the body. Scripture also teaches us that "your body is the temple of God", and you are not to desecrate the temple and a tattoo is a desecration. According to the bible:Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD. Leviticus 19:28 There are some who will claim that the scriptures referring to tattoos is “old law” that was speaking to people who would scar their bodies as
Therefore if a Christian was entering a mosque, out of respect for the Muslim culture, they would also take off their shoes, and vice versa. Some might say that morality and good manners are the same thing, therefore we should adapt our behaviours depending on which society we happen to be in. We should not be so ignorant to realise that our ideas or morals can differ by extremes all over the world, and have no right to try and influence others. If I think ‘Dictatorship is wrong’ is not absolute or universally true. It is true within my culture and society.
He also prohibited anal sex whether it is done in a homosexual or heterosexual relationship and said that Muslim men and women should be chaste and not look at each other’s private parts and to abstain from doing that within the same sex (N. Kligerman 54). Islam considers homosexual acts to be sinful as well as a crime that should be punishable by law.

A lot of indirect judgements can be made during the interview process too, this is Covert Discrimination. In a simpler form it is when a condition is applied to everyone but really only intended for a minority. An example of Overt discrimination is if someone is saying in a job advertisement.. ‘ You cannot apply for this job if you’re are 45 years of age or over’ because this is suggesting that they are not capable or suited for the job and discriminating directly on this specific age group.
For example; making pilgrimages to tombs or special mosques, venerating caves, trees, stones, using votive and sacrificial offerings and praying to saints were all to be banned[ii]. All of these practices were accepted at that time and these were associated with the Islamic religion but the Wahhabs considered these to be unacceptable. The current Western societies and their secular behaviors are even more anathema to the current Wahhabs. They are against secularism, modernity, and the enlightenment. In order to fight the anti-modernism, anti-secularism, they have become extremists and do not fear the use of
