Divorce is consiered a serious matter to most people, worldwide, regardless of race or religion. However, there are always religions and cultures which put a particularly large spotlight on divorce, and view it in great disgust. Most religions such as Islam, Christianity and Judaism have put divorce as a last resort for a married couple and even then give chances for the couple to reunite. Religious people should have the choice to be able to get divorced, if they wish so. Religion is already something that gives people rules, regulations and restrictions to live by; however, divorce is a thing which can determine who you spend the rest of your life with and is so important that everyone should have the choice to make that decision.
This is the perception of Muslim women that I have been exposed to for most of my life. The media presents to me all I have ever known of the Middle East; women covered in burqas, or wrapped up completely in their hijab. The veil, and women in general, has become a symbol for the inferiority of the Middle East. But, like a person can be wrong about a woman who wears glasses, the world as a whole can be very wrong about the real meaning of the veil, and about their perception of the women of Islam. Leila Ahmed’s The Discourse of the Veil explores the real source of women’s struggles in Islam versus the purely symbolic ones that the West concentrates its critique on.
In the article by Rose Solari titled “In Her Own Image”, she talks about the idea that woman should be allowed to be heads, leaders, priests, or pastors of their church (Solari 19-27) . However, the bible states in many different scriptures or verses that women should not. In the Lutheran Missouri Synod denomination of Christianity, they believe that God has many places in the bible that go against the women being religious leaders above men. These examples are more popularly found in the New Testament which is odd because that is where most people look for a more realistic way of living in this generation. However, the examples are found throughout.
If we are sincerely committed to equality then the answer must be no. Demanding that she have the surgery would entail us to say that you have to give up your body to your unborn child. It is unacceptable to force a pregnant woman to undergo treatment. It is her fundamental right of freedom of choice and control over her own body and life. In fact if we force this woman to have the surgery it could compromise the sanctity of a woman’s body.
some people would say the the reiligion is offensive and opressive towards women. some would say that the religion is even slave like towards women. however the women and men that particepate in the islamic religion would say that islam for women has been viewed wrong and that actually egalitaran, specially on its veiws about the sexs. some of the islamic followers would say more than Judaism and or Christianity. conventional veiws suggest that the west sees women of islam as a opressive object instead of a counterpart , in the islamic movement.
Muslims are discriminated against for practicing their religion. Muslim women are being gainsaid jobs and girls averted from attending conventional classes just because they wear traditional forms of dress, such as the headscarf. Men are not given opportunities for wearing a beard that associates with the Islam
Around the time Jesus Christ rose from the dead, they were many great heroines in Christian scriptures, such as Mary Magdalene and the Virgin Mary. There were women who had followed Jesus, and these women were seen as significant figures in the movement. Many of them were seen as leaders in the movement of Christianity as well and there were some apostles, mentioned by Paul in the New Testament, who were women (Ellwood, 324). Christianity spanned accepted everyone, no matter their gender, their race, and their social status. However, scholars noted that there are many inconsistencies concerning this, seeing that though the Bible did say this, women were still treated as inferior to men, and that women were limited to the home.
However, I find now that I always thought about the past. I didn’t realize how much religion still influences the present and the future. I have learned to appreciate a minority religious groups’ struggle to integrate while maintaining a semblance of their values. I have found reasons for willingness to accept and value differences of religious beliefs. John Blake writes about his interview with pastor, Andy Stanley, in his article “A New Challenge for Andy Stanley.” In the article, Stanley says, “What preachers once taught as biblical truth-slavery is sanctioned by God; women aren’t allowed to preach; gambling and dancing are sins-is now rejected by many churches.” This not only confirms that America’s society does change to accommodate other beliefs, but also that these changes can be good things.
Why does the young Fatima prefer to wear her Tunisian clothes to the Western dresses her mother likes her to wear? Why does her mother want her to wear Western clothes? Fatima does not want to worry about dirtying and disarranging the Western type dresses. She would rather wear her traditional, comfortable clothing that does not require much attention. Her mother wants her to wear Western clothing because she does not want her daughter to follow tradition, and believes that clothing can change the way people view her.
This law has allowed the government to make non-profit organization such as Planned Parenthood incapable of granting services to these lower income women. This law is nothing more than red tape for non-profit organizations. I feel that this law is not necessary and is violating the original order that was issued in Roe v. Wade. This proposal should pass because all women have the right to decide what is right for them, regardless
