Niquab Case Study

140 Words1 Page

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. While not agreeing with the ruling, Defence Minister

Rao also notes, “The novel in fact problematizes the discourses of ‘official multiculturalism’ which sanctioned Canada as a 'cultural mosaic,' and underscores how in actual fact such policy glossed over the centrality of race in multicultural Canada. Multiculturalism simply ignored ethnicity and it was used to strengthen the dominance of Canada's two major cultures.” (Rao 2004) Basically, Canada’s multicultural society

    The success of Hunter Tootoo in winning his riding can ultimately be condensed to the efforts of the Liberal party. Tootoo had previously run in the 1997 federal election, however, as an NDP candidate (Zerehi, 2015). Moreover, he was the only unilingual candidate running in a bilingual riding where the inability to speak Inuktitut should have alienated him from Indigenous voters (Ibid). Tootoo's scattered political history and inability to communicate with a significant portion of his constituents put him at a disadvantage. It can only be concluded that voters were making their decisions based on political party association.

    Canada has mistreated its Indigenous people for centuries. The Indian Act (1876) is just one of many ways the government forced their colonial ways of life onto the Indigenous people already living here. It was extremely sexist and gave the Indigenous people very little rights. Bill C-31: The Act to Amend the Indian Act, also known as the new Indian Act, was introduced in April of 1985 by the Canadian government to address the issues regarding discrimination within the Indian Act. The government created this bill with the intention to emphasize equality and give Indigenous communities more self-governing rights.

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.

  • NIBRS: The Most Significant Weaknesses

    I think that the most significant weakness is that the NIBRS is one of the more detailed databases in the fact that it tracks for useful information like offenders with multiple offenses or multiple victims, however it is highly under reported. NIBRS was designed to improve the weakness that occur within the UCR, nevertheless if nobody is reporting to the database it cannot improve. According to Terry (2013), “Currently, police departments representing only 17 percent of the population submit data to NIBRS” (pg. 11). That is a huge weakness that only 17% report to NIBRS.

Throughout her introduction Scott tends to take stance against the France government meaning she doesn’t approve the the law that ban veil. I think this reading represents an excellent research about how unfair the france politicians are to a certain religion. To prove her argument she presented how different religions were treated, for instance from the reading she conveyed the jewish boys wear the skullcaps and sikh boys wear turbans, and the muslim girls wear hijab however she highlights even though the same rule tend to apply of them however the france government tends to undergo the other religions and

  • French Headscarf Essay

    818 Words  | 4 Pages

    The French headscarf controversy reached its peak when, in 2004, the French parliament passed a law banning conspicuous religious clothing from school classrooms. This law and the controversy surrounding the wearing of hijabs, veils, and headscarfs by muslim schoolgirls can trace its immediate root to 1989 when a principal in Creil expelled three girls for refusing to remove the garment in the school. This starting point still neglects the influence of France’s colonial past and her struggle to absorb immigrants from former colonial holdings — especially the predominately muslim Algeria — and the impact of racist remnants of colonial sentiment on modern political and cultural dialog surrounding immigrants. The controversy also served as a rock on which the Front National, a radically right French political party, and its followers were able to create and promote a
