View: Add Comment (3)'Choice, freedom, identity': wearing the veil

The idea that the Muslim burqa represents the enslavement of women and undermines their dignity is an ignorant misconception, according to a young, part-Australian Muslim woman.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy has said the burqa is "not a sign of religion", but a sign of "enslavement ... and subservience".
Mr Sarkozy spoke in favour of a recent call by 65 French MPs to create a parliamentary commission to study a small, but growing trend, of wearing the full-body religious garment in France.
"We cannot accept in our country women imprisoned behind netting; cut off from any social life, deprived of any identity," he said.
"This is not the idea the French republic has of a woman's dignity."
But Nada Ibrahim, a Griffith University PhD student, says the veil is an integral part of her identity.
She says she chooses to wear the veil not to satisfy any male influence, but because she believes it is a commandment from God.
