Assalamualaikum, and good morning. My name is Hazrina and I’m a 14-year-old student from Malaysia. In this essay, I’m going to write about how people treat muslims in western countries.

Female circumcision for women is a way of purifying them of their masculinity.
It just advices women to use the hijab as an act of obedience to God. Secondly, women wearing hijabs become a very visible sign of Islam. While Muslim men can blend easily into any society, Muslim women are often put on the line and forced to defend not only their decision or not to cover their bodies but also their religion. Thirdly, women who use the hijab lose their identity as women because they cannot dress appropriately according to their gender. It is not certain that the hijab frees women from being seen as sexual objects of desire or from being valued for their looks or body shape.
islamic women where the first to have independent property. futhermore muslim women also have the right to divorce if their marriage is not working. women also have the right to testify in court of law. this all came in to play before the united states had womens rights. what most people dont realize is the Quran has laws about violence against women specially in marriagr and duress situations.
I chose the quote above because it showed that women should not use their stereotypical strengths as an argument for equality. It would be like saying those sigma's put on women by non-feminist are all right. Katha Pollitt states that everyone is responsible for " the environment, a more humane workplace, economic justice, social support for children to make the world a better place regardless of who you are. I believe that her beliefs about "difference feminism and women's superiority to men would be a part of making the world a better place, in her eyes. I believe that
She says “why then do we as a society view abortion as justified and unremarkable in the case of another class of people: children with disabilities?”. By saying “we”, as opposed to say, society, she brings the reader to a personal level, showing she is not viewing herself as someone on a pedestal, but rather just someone also influenced by the bias of the world. She uses imagery when describing her daughter’s “big blue eyes” and her feeling of joy she got when she “got our first inkling that there was a full-fledged person behind them.” This gives the
Answers to section A. 1. Summary of “The many faces behind the veil” - an article written by Arifa Akbar and Jerome Taylor The article states different reasons for muslim women to wear hijab – religion, spirituality or even political views. Whereas detractors see this piece of clothing as a form of opression and asks :”why any woman would hide their face in public ?” Rahmanara Chowdhury ,a 29 year old student outreach worker with 7 sisters chose 9 years ago to wear the niqab – an Arabic garment that covers the whole face except the eyes.

The First Amendment Applies to Whom? “What do you want to do when you grow up?” Kaitlin Nootbar, valedictorian at Prague high School, in Prague Oklahoma had a response in her salutation speech “How the hell do I know? I have changed my mind so many times.” Now the school wants a written apology before giving her a diploma she has earned, not because of the message of the speech but because she had the audacity to utter the word hell without permission. For a teenager it is not considered politically correct to say a vulgar word such a hell valedictorian or not.

An article of clothing, called a rife, separates her face. On this rifle, she has etched in ink a Farsi poem. This poem articulates the deep belief of many Iranian women in Islam (Sayre, 2010). Islam people believe that when a woman wears a chador she is concealing her sexuality and prevents her from becoming a sexual object. Photographer Lorna Simpson is preoccupied
Pizan so obviously from the start of her writing, introduces how women should behave (from the perspective of a princess), so that her actions shall be beneficial to her and her husband.
