HYPERLINK "" \o "Head Coverings" \t "_blank" Head Coverings?A great deal of discussion has arisen over the past 5 years regarding the role of women in Islam and the role of the veil in many Muslim cultures. For many in the West, the veil is seen an oppressive requirement that demeans the value and place of women in society. This web article examines the role of the veil in the three monotheistic religions. Read the article and answer the following questions, giving specific reasons (not just, "it's required by their religion, or scripture.").?1. Why have Jewish women taken the veil (head covering)?2. Why have Christian women taken the veil (head covering)?3. Why have Muslim women taken the veil (head covering)?Discussion Topic:?Many Americans seem to feel that there must be something about Islam itself that promotes terrorism and violence. Non-Americans around the world seem to feel that there must be something about democracy, capitalism, or Christianity that promotes domination and exploitation of the poor. Still others suggest that it is the simple message of monotheism (in whatever form...Jewish, Muslim, Christian, other)--namely, one God/one people/one book/one way--that leads to and/or supports domination, bigotry, and violence. What do you think?NOTE: while this topic is similar to our very first discussion topic, you now have an entire semester of knowledge to draw from. As always, be respectful, but don't shy away from asking hard questions. Dialogue and discussion are how we come to understand ourselves and others.? ................
