Activity 10

Read the text and answer the questions

Muslim’s Headscarf

The right to freedom of religion is enshrined in the UN charter and considered by many to be a
basic human right. Some religions require special diet, others prayer at specific times. Why
should a religious mode of dress receive as much protection as these other aspects of religious
freedom?

Many Muslim women view the veil as a means to protect their modesty and privacy. Just as we
would not force any women to be seen in public in her underwear if she did not feel comfortable
doing so, why should a woman be forced to show her hair if she does not want to? Modesty is a
personal judgement; some are comfortable in the smallest bikini while others prefer a lot more
clothing. No one but the woman herself should make that decision.
