Veils
Throughout history, religion has been a contentious point. It remains so in today’s world and here is another example of that. The country of Syria has long tried to remain a secular country. The Muslims have tried to influence its politics because of its large population there. The government is determined to keep freedom alive for the populace as a whole and has banned the wearing of veils at universities.
The niqab is a form of dress that only allows the eyes to be seen. This form of dress is representative of conservative Islam. Headscarves will still be allowed under the new rules. Other countries are considering implementing similar rules in order to protect women who feel degraded by the usage of this dressing style. I applaud the move and hope that women around the world will gain the respect they deserve.
