The Muslim Woman

If we plunge deep into the Islamic chalk talk pertaining to clothing for Muslim women then we would discover the Islamic feminine are allowed to cover their whole body except their eyes palms and fingers up till the wrist. The Muslim women are hitting back due to high levels of oppression churned out by the Islamic community.

If the report from EZINEARTICLES is to be believed then several online shopping websites are getting a slew of orders for bikini from Muslim nations. It implies that the wave of rebel has homed itself in the hearts of the women of Islamic community who plan to launch themselves in bikini and end the subjugation caused by their community to wear black veils, Jilbab, Hijabs and other clothing which has been confirmed righteous by the Islamic teachings.

Women confirmed the rumors of the bikini revolution soon to hit the Islamic community by saying-

“The men want to hide our beauty in the closet and the clerics want us to take responsibility for the design of the human body, but, the truth is, we didn’t have anything to do with it. Our job is just to live with the design. In fact, to love it and be proud of it as the way Allah made us.”

Now, let’s see how the Muslim community will take the bikini revolution.

This is a difficult question to answer because there are so many misconceptions and misunderstandings about Islamic attire for women. Many people have this mental image of a woman draped in a shapeless black cloth with a slit for the eyes. In reality, because Islam is not a monolithic geographical bloc, dress practices themselves vary from country to country. Let us recall that the basic tenet for women’s clothing is that women should dress modestly and this tenet is exceedingly unlikely to change. In today’s world, fashion is a means to express your personality and project the kind of person that you are. Your choices of fabric, colors, style and so on are made keeping the personality in mind. There is now a wide range of Islamic dresses that are available, which let you project your personality while still respecting the tradition and the rules of religion. In other words, you can be fashionable while still being modestly dressed, and you can be trendy without breaking the rules. For instance, there are many designer Abayas that are available. The Abaya is the garment that is worn to cover the body from shoulders to foot and is traditionally black in color. It is traditionally worn with a headdress or a Hijab (headscarf) to cover the head. In keeping with the dictates of fashion, Abayas are now available in a variety of fabrics and designs. You can choose from many bright colors as well as sequins and hand embroidery to embellish these designer clothes. As for fabric, you have the choice of cotton, crepe, silk or chiffon. You can also buy a matching Hijab from a wide range of colors and fabric. Even the traditional black Abaya has received a complete makeover and is now available as a designer garment complete with fashionable cut, hand embroidery or patchwork. As never before, Islamic women now have the chance to display their personality while observing all the rules and traditions of their religion.

The parents of one of the girls previously suspended from Gabriel Havez filed some sort of defamation suit against its principal. Following these events, teachers at a center school in Nantua held a general strike in protest against the scarf in school. A second government statement reiterated the need to respect the principle of secularity in public schools.

In September 1994, a new memorandum, the “Franois Bayrou memo” was issued, delineating the difference concerning “discreet” religious symbols able to be brought into classes, and “ostentatious” religious symbols (like the hijab), which were to remain forbidden in public establishments. Between 1994 together with 2003 around 100 feminine students were suspended or even expelled from middle and high schools for using the scarf in category. In nearly half these cases, their exclusions were annulled by the French courts.

In France and Turkey, the emphasis is in the secular nature of the state of Hawaii, along with the symbolic nature of that Islamic dress, together with bans apply at state institutions (courts, civil service) and within state-funded education. These bans also cover Islamic headscarves, which in some other countries are viewed as less controversial, even though law court staff in the Netherlands are also not allowed to wear Islamic headscarves with grounds of ‘state neutrality’. An apparently less politicised issue is that in certain professions (teaching), a ban on “veils” (niqab) is actually justified, since face-to-face communication and eye contact becomes necessary. That argument has featured prominently in judgements in Britain and also the Netherlands, after students or teachers were banned from wearing face-covering clothing.
