The issue of veils

Schools Could be Allowed to Ban Veils


Muslim people have a religion that doesn't allow women to show their skin. So Muslim women have to cover their skin with veils. However, the government British has decided to ban veils.

There are several opinions about this decision. Some Muslim people are happy with this decision because they think they look the same with other people and the difference between them and other societies will be nothing. But other Muslim people feel bad to be banned veils because they think banning veils is kind of discrimination. One of Muslim students said that although they look different to other people, inside they are all the same. I agree a little bit with this opinion, but I strongly agree with the opposite opinion. People who are not Muslim can not see Muslim women's face, so they do not know how they react and how they look like. Not knowing how they react would be hard for other people to communicate with them. At school, if teachers don't know how students react, it is hard to evaluate them. Seeing each other's face is important when we communicate. I would be scared if I couldn't see a person's face who I talked to.
Now, there are a lot of crimes around the world, so wearing veils can make us think that people who covering their faces with veils are suspected and that it is easier for Muslim people to commit a crime. So showing our faces is important now.


In my opinion, if there was a Muslim student at school in Japan, she would have to obey the rule of school and would not be allowed to wear veils. That is because the rule in Japan is so strict about how students look like. Students are not allowed to wear something on their head in class. No matter what religion people belong to, people have to obey the rule in the region where they are. The problem is that we have to attach importance to human rights and religions. Banning veils must be segregation. If school vanned veils, some Muslim students would be withdrawn from school. Even though it is better for people who are not belong to Muslim religion that Muslim women don't veil, Muslim would be hurt that their religion is discriminated.



I think Muslim people need to know how important to see people's face and show their faces. There is no good point in hiding their faces. It is hard for other people to trust Muslim people until they show their faces.
