The problems of the veiled Muslim women in America and Europe

Muslim women clothes  suffer from many problems in foreign countries such as:

United States : The veil was not a problem in the United States as it was in Europe. The First Amendment prohibits government from interfering with religious clothing or preferences of individuals. Students wear islamic clothes in public schools and state colleges largely without controversy.

The case of Sultaana Freeman, a convert to Islam,  American who began wearing a veil in 1997, is an exception. Her Islamic clothes covering all but her eyes. She refused to remove the photo of a driver's license and sued the state of Florida, where she was a resident,the previous license her photo taken before 2001 , had been taken sailing on . A judge of the Federal Court ruled in 2003 that the state could compel Freeman to remove the veil for license photo . (more details)

 Canada as the United States , the veil has not really been a problem in Canada , with a few minor exceptions. Muslim girls wearing Islamic women clothes to school and state employees wear it to work. But in 2007, a 11 - year-old Muslim girl from Ottawa was ejected from a soccer tournament for refusing to remove her headscarf during playback. The International Football Association Board confirmed ejection. Later this year, the province of Quebec, while the Canadian federal authorities ruled that Muslim women wearing the full veil covering the face were removed when determining their identity before voting.

In France : The wearing of headscarves in public schools is prohibited. The legislation was passed in March 2004 regulating the wearing of symbols or clothes of islamic women  affiliation in public primary and secondary schools. The law states : "In public elementary and secondary schools, the wearing of signs or dress by which pupils overtly manifest a religious affiliation is prohibited . The school rules shall state that the institution of disciplinary proceedings is preceded by a dialogue with the student. " The law applies to all public schools and educational institutions, but not state universities. 

Opposition to the ban

 But there is a difference between exclamations Rushdie - as in exclamations and transform these laws . Especially in Western societies. France was the first example of cultural diversity "purity" Crank Europe. France banned the wearing of headscarves in public schools. But it gets worse. Some 65 legislators, right-wingers and left-wingers two requested in June 2009 for a commission to study the effects of light on French society. This is the first step towards a law that would ban the burqa on the whole body and the niqab in public.

At the end of June 2009 , speaking to a joint session of parliament in Versailles, Nicolas Sarkozy , the French president , said he was on the side of prohibitionists . He used a historic speech at Versailles to declare against individual freedom claiming to speak on behalf of women's rights .

Prohibit freedom in the name of freedom

In our country we can not accept that women be prisoners behind a screen, cut off from all social life, deprived of all identity ,he said rolling applause. The burqa is not a religious sign , it's a sign of subservience , a sign of debasement - I want to say solemnly : It will not be welcome Islamic women clothes in French Republic. "
