Justification In Banning The Hijab By Hebah And Mona
Submitted By Words 494 Pages 2
France is not justified in banning the hijab. I agree with Hebah Ahmed that women should not be limited in their clothing choices based on other people's beliefs. Both Hebah and Mona share the belief that woman should be able to wear what they want; they are both fighting for woman's rights! The real debate is whether or not woman are choosing to wear hijab or if they are forced to. Mona describes many woman who are forced to wear hijabs and believes that it equates piety with the disappearance of women and women's rights. On the other hand, Hebah makes it clear that there are many woman, such as herself, who do not see the hijab as oppressive, but rather as a path to empowerment. The reality is that both of these situations exist.
