1. The article that I found is about how the Federal Government was denied the ability to ban women from wearing their niquabs during a citizenship ceremony. The ban on niquabs was first brought to light when a Muslim woman from Pakistan named Zunera Ishaq tried to get Canadian citizenship, but she was unable to do so due to her unwillingness to remove her niquab. In the federal court ruling between the dispute amidst Zunera Ishaq and the government, Judge Keith Boswell stated that denying Zunera Ishaq her right to wear a niquab during her Canadian citizenship ceremony violates her freedom of religion. It was ruled that Zunera Ishaq was allowed to complete the ceremony while wearing her niquab.
He also mentions an incident where the police had taken him into custody when he was pasting flyers for his concert. These events are examples of the behavioral component of prejudice. Being an Asian Muslim, I can relate very much to the components of prejudice Sonny Singh has experienced as stated in this article and have many examples that I can quote here from my life. However, for the sake of this discussion I want to share a recent experience of one of my friends who wears a hijab (headscarf) and is a doctor practicing medicine in New York.

The article, “French Jews struggle with an identity dilemma as violence increases”, claims that French Jews are being targeted by ISIS. The Jews don’t know if they should wear skullcaps in public because it could potentially cause them to be a target. A skullcap proclaims their religion, and is meant to remind the wearer of God’s presence over him. I think that Jews should be allowed to wear kippas (skullcaps) because they would still be attacked for any other reason that expresses that they are Jewish. The kippas aren 't really offensive and they don 't affect anyone.
However, according to the Koran, the Islamic religious text, wearing a

It is meant to symbolize protection of the weak and self-defense but, wearing of such a weapon has been argued to be dangerous to those around such person as it is still a lethal weapon. Teachers believed that the student should not be able to wear the weapon on school grounds as it endangered the safety of nearby students. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled in favor of individuals arguing that such a weapon impeached their rights to safety and as such the Supreme Court banned the wearing of such a weapon in places like school to protect the safety of the people4, even though this violates the religious rights of Sikhs. These cases of the niqab and kirpan show that a person’s religious rights can be violated if it violates another person’s right to safety and
The Middle East’s reaction has been mixed. In document #3 of the DQB, veiling is talked about. The document mentions that non-muslims think of veiling as a form
According to the author’s opinion Canadian Muslim women feel the most targeted leading this to be the main issues as it is states for any head wear such as niqab or burka covering the face to be removed when receiving public services regarding identification (Shingler, 2017). Despite, the author being able to relate to the controversial topic he is able to incorporate statements from those who are not in favor of the new bill. In summary, CBC News author Benjamin Shingler uses statements from Quebec’s government and Muslim Canadians grasping a better understanding of both viewpoints. As a result, the issue seen is being examined through a micro-level as looking beyond a problem and looks at cause and effect for individuals throughout society.
This case was about a Muslim girl (Samantha Elauf) trying to get a job at Abercrombie and Fitch. She wore a hijab to her interview like every other day.

Abercrombie never asked if her headscarf was to practice her religion, but neither did Elauf mention it was for religious reasons.

The school published a statement on college website explaining that she was given some time off to explore theological implications of her public statements.
In 1939, Reza Shah’s unveiling declaration sparked a worldwide debate as to what the veil actually symbolizes. Ever since the beginning of Islam, women throughout the Islamic world have had to adopt the hijab as part of their cultural and religious attire due to various interpretations of the Islamic dress code. In addition, the Koran emphasizes purity in the name of Islam by asking both men and women to be modest when it comes to the way they dress. Furthermore, in his efforts to modernize Iran, Reza Shah failed to satisfy the needs of his people, as he gave women no say in what they could and could not wear in public. This eventually resulted in the division of Iranian women, as there were those who favored the Islamic tradition, and those who supported the regime and its adoption of Western values.
The issue of the veil has come to represent the essence of Islam, not only to the West, but also to Muslim Conservatives and Fundamentalists. To some in the West, the veil represents repression and constriction of women’s freedom and choice, limiting their capacity for self-determination. However, some Muslims would argue that women must veil because it is a first step towards restoring true Islam and a defiance against the West Interventionist policies (Lazreg, Why Women Should Not Wear the Veil, pg. 113). Additionally, the idea of freedom as the ultimate value, is a western standard and that for some, piety is more important. Lila Abu-Lughod and Marnia Lazreg have contrasting views on the veiling of Muslim women and the affects it has on their lives.
“Abortions are personal and complicated”, Jessica states in her article about abortions being legal. Mrs. Valenti believes that abortion should be legal without any restrictions, and by controlling it, it gives out the assumption that women can’t be trusted to make good decisions.

Initially she states “abortions should be legal without any restrictions- no parental consent laws, no mandated ultrasounds, no waiting periods, no bans on late term abortions, and no bans on federal funding for abortion” Jessica states that abortions are personal and complicated.

Transgender cultures exist around the world. However many forms of transgendered cultures disappeared because of the Christian teachings. In Indian society, the institutionalized third gender is called Hijra and is noticeably different from the Western concept of transgender. Hijras are men who dress and act like women.
