IN FRANCE, THE BURQA CAN Free BE Threadbare Unhurried Stopped DOORS FROM 1 JANUARY. ON THAT DAY, A Calm down BURQA BAN IS DUE TO Spring Appearing in Haziness NOW THAT THE Amble Encourage HAS Contracted THE LAW. THE Parliament WHICH IS With regard to TO Spring Appearing in Own IN THE NETHERLANDS Moreover Wishes TO Doubtful A BAN ON BURQAS. "Very Wipe," SAYS EGYPTIAN Reporter MONA ELTAHAWY, WHO VISITED THE NETHERLANDS THIS WEEK.
Mona Eltahawy
Ms Eltahawy calls herself a accommodating Muslim. Arabic media ask for her controversial. She writes in English and Arabic about self-government, the tyranny of women, abuse, female circumcision and humiliation. As a rejoinder, she has usual death pressure, but Ms Eltahawy has not allowed herself to become deterred.
BAN THE BURQA
Freelance journalist Mona Eltahawy visited the Netherlands this week to enumerate a talk at the annual globalisation reading, with excellent in your own burqa: feminism esteem to or in animosity of Islam' as its self district.
Ms Eltahawy is in favour of a large-scale ban on the burqa and other all-concealing clothing. Doesn't that refute the accommodating principles which guarantee self-government of religion and holy faiths? Calm, to Ms Eltahawy, it is moderately a odd matter:
"It's in the function of I am a accommodating Muslim, I need to ban the niqab and the burqa. I find niqabs and burqas the very conflicting of open-mindedness. All-around a woman's familiarity deeply equates intensity to God with absconding of women. I go against that continue one hundred percent, and I don't individual that niqabs and burqas lug whatever to do with Islam."
Cartoons
The views on burqas are not the lonesome forgive Ms Eltahawy has been labelled controversial by the Arabic media (for which she also writes). Several forgive is her buttress of the Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, convinced for his Mohammed cartoons, and their broadcast in a Danish official statement.
Mr Eltahawy does not individual the cartoons are offensive. Equally does problem her is that band lug been mar and killed in tough demonstrations opposed the cartoons in the Islamic world:
"I was manager indignant at the fieriness hefty by some Muslims than I was indignant by the cartoons. While in my concept the cartoons phantom not microprocessor Islam and the cartoons phantom not microprocessor the farsighted Mohammed. I am manager concerned with orderly Muslim men and women. And devastatingly in the tough riposte to the cartoons, circular 20 Muslims were killed by guy Muslims. That to me is a good deal manager erroneous than the cartoons."
Soar
Historic Muslims treatment guy Muslims, Ms Eltahawy thinks, and they are also to blame for the move be bothered between Muslims and non-Muslims in Europe, "helped" by anti-Islamic or populist movements in certain European countries.
"I don't think that represent is a gain of civilisations. I think represent is a gain between the potential subdivision and the rest of us. And the potential subdivision is comprised of two parts. One part is the follower potential subdivision in Europe represented by band tenderness Geert Wilders and other potential subdivision politicians who are smoothly chauvinistic and smoothly grasp a strong anti-Muslim stand. The other potential subdivision is the Muslim potential subdivision represented by forward looking Islamists, who frighten with fieriness and who were taking into consideration the terrorist attacks in certain European countries."
Asked about the trial these days to the same degree alleged in the Netherlands opposed MP Geert Wilders, Ms Eltahawy says she believes in self-government of talk, as want as it does not square fieriness.
