Muslims Women

Does the world have a problem with what Muslim women wear? Apparently, in some parts of the world, there is growing tension and political opposition to the wearing of the burqa, a veil used mostly by Muslim women to cover the head and face sometimes even their eyes. Thus, the burqa continues to make the headlines but this does not necessarily imply a threat to Islamic identity but the growing consensus around the world should prompt us to ask questions about the intention of these laws. Remember, we had discussed on this very forum how Quebec had introduced laws to ban the wearing of burqa. This was a move that was supported by a majority of Canadians but no logical reason was given as to why the law was proposed in the first place.
