Good morning teachers and students. This morning I am here to present a talk on the recent topic of the issue about of burka and how it shouldn’t be banned in Australia.
The issue of burkas being banned has risen quite dramatically in Australian media such newspapers and television. Some of the public believe that Islamic people are linked to the extremist group ISIL. Before I go into too much detail I would like to explain that a burka is, it is a religious garment covering the entire body leaving a veiled opening for the eyes, worn mostly by Muslim women. The burqa has already been banned in many countries including France, Belgium and Holland as well as several cities in Spain and Italy. But why does Australia feel that it would be necessary to ban this religious garment?
Many Australians believe that this garment is a risk to national security and are branding it UN Australian to wear a burka. I will be covering these two topics and informing you all how this is a false statement and a few other points such as how Australia already has a very strict laws in place and it is the individuals own choice on their selection of clothing the community should accept this as Australia prides itself on being a country that’s known for ‘Freedom’ and a multicultural society.
The discussion of the issue arose a group of Muslim extremist ‘ISIL’ broadcasted a video of themselves a video of themselves decapitating a man whilst wearing a garment similar to the burka. This was in a different country and does not reflect but the views of the general Muslim religion. The whole issue had major backlash for the ISIL extremist as well as the surrounding community. Those who feel the burqa should be banned don’t see the religious reasoning behind the burqa and jump to conclusions. One of the key reasons why Australians are leaning towards a ban is because they feel it is a security risk. Yes, there is a case of I can see you, but you cannot see me however
