Another debate in France is on wetter the bikini-like hijab must be allowed in beaches or not. In some beaches it is forbidden. In Germany, on the contrary, this dress called Hashmi (or something) is being promoted in public swimming pools for hygienic reasons. So who is right?
All I am saying is that the debate must be held.
But this issue is mainly a cultural issue. Not a philosophical one. Women (and their entire family and in some case, their entire society) want to keep the veil because at some point in history (for whatever logical or illogical reason) this has become a general norm for society. And now they are resisting the change toward a more secular and modern society through their attachment to that object. This is the core of the issue. Indeed it is very similar to the gun-control issue or the debate on the right to abortion in the U.S.A.:
- He / She doesn’t want it
- Why?
“God says no” or “It is in the constitution”
(Are you out of your mind?) J)
Yes, I think so too. This is an issue that has to be worked out, over time, and it's likely that not everyone will be happy with the result.
We have to be understanding and patient with the debate.
